Al-Mutairi opposed the bill, along with Jabir Al-Azmi, Hussein Al-Qallaf Al-Bahraini, Daifallah Bouramiya, Mohammed Al-Obaid, Musallam Al-Barrak and Waleed Al-Tabtabaie.
Al-Mutairi accused the Cabinet of speeding up the bill's passage for the benefit of monetary tycoons.
[1] In November 2008, Al-Mutairi joined with fellow Islamist MPs Waleed Al-Tabtabaie and Mohammed Al-Mutair 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.
On December 28, 2008, al-Mutairi with fellow Kuwaiti lawmakers Mikhled Al-Azmi, Musallam Al-Barrak, Marzouq Al-Ghanim, Jamaan Al-Harbash, Ahmed Al-Mulaifi, Ahmed Al-Sadoun, Nasser Al-Sane, and Waleed Al-Tabtabaie protested in front of the National Assembly building against attacks by Israel on Gaza.
Protesters burned Israeli flags, waved banners reading, "No to hunger, no to submission" and chanted "Allahu Akbar".
