GOVERNING COALITION LED BY FRSC FORMED
 
MANARA  ALBRAYD SRIA AL-MUSAMI
(If it’s in the Monsoon, it’s got to be true)
 
Majlis, February 17, 5660: Khalifi al-Qassem, head of the Free Radical Supper Club (FRSC) faction in the Majlis, has put together a governing coalition of ministers approved by the Majlis.
 
He is taking over as Chancellor from Hakim al-Sabah of the Working Institutional Group (WIG) faction who will become Defense Minister replacing General Hakim al-Afdal who is assuming command of the 2nd Motorized Infantry Division.  It is generally believed at some point he will return to his former position as Chief of the Army Staff.
 
Health Minister Abdul Jabbar of FRSC will become Interior Minister succeeding Bandar Qasabi who will take over Interior’s Central Security Organization(CSO). It is thought that these appointments will lead to greater accountability for the Defense and Interior Ministries.
 
Former Chancellor Bashir ibn Ortoq has replaced the Chancellor as Religious Affairs Minister while the Chancellor’s sister, Mariamne al-Qassem, will remain Foreign Minister.
 
The governing coalition Ministers have pledged to have a systematic review and revision of current law to protect  traditional family values, a demand for the support of the religious factions Israi Values, Forgotten Abadi Majatrans and Dufazi.  The Monsoon has confirmed there will be no return of religious police.
 
The Monsoon notes that although Defense and Interior will have more control and oversight by the Majlis, no one has mentioned the General Intelligence Service (GIS) likely because nobody seems to know how they are funded or even how its chief is selected.
