Jasem Emwazi has been told to publicly distance himself from his son or leave Kuwait . Kuwaiti MPs yesterday called on Jihadi John ’ s father , Jasem Emwazi , to publicly distance himself from his son ’ s actions by apologising – or leave the country . Kuwaitis have become increasingly frustrated with the mixed messages coming from 51-year-old British citizen Mr Emwazi , whose family are said to have cost the British tax-payer up to £400,000 in the 20 years they have lived in the UK . Last week , Mr Emwazi told former workmates his son was a ‘ dog ’ and hoped he would die , yet a few days later , his lawyer in Kuwait suggested there was ‘ no proof ’ the masked IS executioner-in-chief was in fact 26-year-old Mohammed . Yesterday , Abdullah Yousef Al-Maayouf , a member of the Kuwaiti National Assembly and chairman of the country ’ s Parliamentary interior and defence committee , called for Mr Emwazi to apologise or leave . He said : ‘ Kuwait is a safe , peaceful country and does not want to be associated with Mohammed Emwazi . What he has done is not his family ’ s fault , but they should apologise on his behalf and say they do not agree with it . ‘ If they will not say this publicly , they should leave Kuwait. ’ Mr Emwazi is believed to have been living in Kuwait with his eldest daughter Asma , 25 , for the last two years while his wife Ghaneya and four other children remained in London – now guarded by armed police in a hotel . Westminster council is reportedly still paying the rent on the family ’ s £600,000 flat even though the rules say housing benefit should normally be stopped after 13 weeks . As members of the stateless Bedoon ethnic group , the Emwazis were granted asylum in the UK , claiming to have fled Kuwait in fear of persecution . Scroll down for video . Former Kuwaiti MP Safa Al Hashem urged Mr Emwazi to ‘ speak openly ’ about his son and apologise . ‘ From what we read , he has said one thing to his friends at work , then another in public , ’ she said . ‘ Whether an apology from him would be accepted by people is not certain , but he should make one anyway . ‘ I think it would be better if he went back to the UK and spoke to the police and security services there about what he knows. ’ Meanwhile , Kuwaiti government adviser and security expert Dr Fahed Al-Shelaimi , a retired army colonel , said he believed Mr Emwazi would return to the UK within days .

He has appeared in a number of the terror group 's films ( right ) Mr Emwazi has both described his 26-year-old son ( above ) as a 'dog ' and claimed there is no evidence to prove he is the hooded killer shown in ISIS films . ‘ Kuwait wants to distance itself from Mohammed Emwazi and officials here consider it a largely British issue . He was born here but brought up in London . ‘ His father ’ s presence in Kuwait is embarrassing for the country . The Kuwaiti government doesn ’ t want the headache , so will ask him gently to leave the country . ‘ Jasem has already quit his job , and people are cursing his son – I doubt he will be able to stand the heat and I expect he will leave soon . In 90 per cent of cases when people are asked to leave here , they go quietly. ’ Neither Jasem Emwazi or his lawyer , Salem Al-Hashash , were available for comment yesterday .
