State news agency KUNA reported that Kuwait’s government submitted its resignation to the ruling emir. It’s the second time a government headed by Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah al-Khalid al-Sabah has resigned this year
Kuwait’s government on Monday submitted its resignation to the ruling emir, state news agency KUNA reported, a move that could help end a standoff with opposition lawmakers that has hindered fiscal reform.
Several opposition MPs have insisted on questioning the premier on various issues, including the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and corruption. Deadlocks between the cabinet and assembly have for decades led to government reshuffles and dissolutions of parliament, hampering investment and reform. The government recently launched a dialogue with MPs to break the impasse, with the opposition demanding to be able to question Sheikh Sabah and an amnesty pardoning political dissidents.
