Forgiving Iraq's debt opposition

Al-Mutair opposes forgiving Iraq's debt, saying, "A commitment is a commitment; we have suffered enough from that neighbor."[2] The estimated debt of $15–16 billion came mostly from loans made to Iraq during the Iran–Iraq War.[3]

Request to grill Prime Minister Nasser

In November 2008, Al-Mutair joined with fellow Islamist MPs Waleed Al-Tabtabaie and Mohammed Hayef Al-Mutairi in filing a request to grill Prime Minister Nasser Al-Mohammed Al-Sabah for allowing prominent Iranian Shiite cleric Mohammad Baqir al-Fali to enter Kuwait despite a legal ban.[4]
