| 2018-05-04 |
| [AAWSAT] The Kuwaiti government easily passed Wednesday one of three obstacles during a marathon session to discuss three interrogation requests. While Prime Minister Sheikh Jaber al-Mubarak survived the questioning, both the government and the speaker of the National Assembly seemed satisfied with the outcome of the vote of confidence for Oil and Electricity Minister Bakheet al-Rashidi and Minister of State for Economic Affairs Hind al-Sabeeh on May 10. Following a 24-hour marathon session, which witnessed the discussion of three government-directed interrogations, 10 politicians filed a no-confidence motion against Rashidi and Sabeeh. Speaker of the National Assembly Marzouq al-Ghanim said that the two ministers would not resign during next week’s session. Ghanim told news hounds the first no-confidence request was submitted by MPs Abdul Wahab al-Babtain and Omar al-Tabtabaei against Rashidi. A no-confidence motion has been filed against the minister and the voting on the motion will take place during Thursday’s session on May 10, Ghanim added. |
