Mohammed Barak Al-Mutair (Arabic: محمد براك المطير) was the Deputy Speaker of the Kuwaiti National Assembly, representing the second district. Born in 1969, Al-Mutair earned a BA in business management and worked for an investment company before being elected to the National Assembly in 2003.[1]

## Forgiving Iraq's debt opposition

[edit]

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

[edit]

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]
