"DOHA: Kuwait's announcement yesterday to distribute free food for 14 months and

$3,572 to every citizen has led to huge excitement in the Qatari community, with

some saying they expect their government to follow suit.

The Kuwaiti news agency said the ruler has announced that free coupons for basic

food items would be provided to each citizen from February 1 this year until

March 31, 2012.

The beneficiaries would also be given $3,572 each and even those (citizens) born

until February 1, 2011 will be eligible for the state's generous one-off

The news agency said the cash package totals $4bn and additional amounts are to

be spent on providing free food for 14 months in a row to its citizens. The

gesture is to mark the country's 50th independence anniversary....."
