Al-Kharafi made this remark within a statement made to the press following the Assembly’s special session for discussing a no-confindence motion against Minister of Oil and Minister of Information Sheikh Ahmed Abdullah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah that ended in the Assembly’s renewal of confidence in the minister.
Al-Kharafi said "I hope that we do not deem the national unity mere slogans without looking at the reality we live because the national unity is deep-seated in Kuwait and will remain so." He went on to say "we should take utmost caution against the repercussions of what happened in the past years," expressing his belief that there are some who seek to stir up sedition among the Kuwaitis "in what might cause a harm to the national unity."
He added "we will manage to protect our national unity and thwart the attempts of any sedition instigator with God’s help and the wisdom of H.H. the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah." Finally, Al-Kharafi congratulated the Minister of Oil and Information on the Assembly’s renewal of confidence in him, calling on him to make use of what took place of discussions during the session.
