Kuwait Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah has denied reports that key political changes are afoot in the country, according to remarks published on Wednesday. âThere are no changes, neither at the level of the government nor at any other level,â Sheikh Sabah said in an interview with the Al-Rai Al-Aam newspaper. Last September, Sheikh Salem Al-Ali Al-Sabah, who heads the National Guard and ranks fourth in the family hierarchy, told Al-Qabas newspaper that the dynasty was to announce âkey decisionsâ to âherald a new eraâ of stability. He declined to reveal the nature of the changes, although he compared them to the historical adoption of Kuwaitâs liberal constitution in 1962 and the separation in 2003 of the posts of crown prince and prime minister. The prime minister also denied that the country was under the leadership of anyone other than the Amir. âHis excellency Amir (Sheikh Jaber) has returned to the homeland, thank God, and he is there and guiding everyone and is in good health,â after recent surgery in the United States, Sheikh Sabah said.
