| Kuwait ministers quit for likely reshuffle | |
| 2013-12-24 | |
“All the ministers have submitted their resignations to the prime minister to enable him to prepare for the requirements for the next stage,” said State Minister for Cabinet Affairs Shaikh Mohammed Abdullah Al Sabah, the government spokesman. “The prime minister decided to refer the issue to the Amir to take whatever steps necessary to serve national interests,” said Shaikh Mohammed, cited by the official Kuna news agency. Earlier, parliament speaker Marzouk Al Ghanem said he had received an official letter informing him that all 15 ministers had tendered their resignations. The speaker also said the government would not participate in a parliament session scheduled for Tuesday, which has now been called off. Kuwaiti media reported last week that Prime Minister Shaikh Jaber Mubarak Al Sabah was preparing a major reshuffle. | |
