In his decree, Al-Sabah explained that "To rectify the political scene involving lack of harmony and cooperation, in addition to differences, conflicts, personal interests, failure to accept others, practices and behaviors that undermine national unity, it was a must to resort to the people who represent the destiny, extension, survival, and existence so that they could rectify the path in a way that serves their supreme interests."

According to KUNA, the Crown Prince "made the decision upon an Amiri Decree dated on November 15, 2021, delegating him some constitutional powers."
