The controversial Kuwaiti activist, Salwa Al-Mutairi, has published a video clip on social networking sites in which she requested to be granted one billion Kuwaiti dinars (about $ 3.3 billion) in exchange for inventing an effective treatment against the new "Corona" virus, according to the "Russia Today" website.

"If you want me to find a cure for Corona virus, pay me this amount," Al-Mutairi said in the clip, which was widely circulated.

She added, "I am a merchant and my financial condition is affordable and I do not need anyone."
