Kuwait,<\/p>\n
The Kuwait’s Prime Minister, Sabah Khaled Al-Sabah, submitted the cabinet’s resignation to Crown Prince Sheikh Meshal al-Ahmad al-Jaber Al-Sabah, the official KUNA news agency reported.<\/p>\n
The move comes a day head of a parliamentary vote on a letter of non-cooperation. Ten lawmakers submitted against the PM after he had been accused of committing “unconstitutional” practices, including corruption.<\/p>\n
Oil-rich\u00a0Kuwait\u00a0has been shaken by disputes between lawmakers and successive governments dominated by the ruling Al-Sabah family for more than a decade, with parliaments and cabinets dissolved several times.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Kuwait\u00a0is the only Gulf Arab state with a fully elected parliament, which enjoys wide legislative powers and can vote ministers out of office.<\/p>\n
Earlier, in February, the country’s interior and defense ministers resigned in protest over the manner of parliamentary questioning of other ministers.<\/p>\n
Parliament had questioned Foreign Minister Sheikh Ahmed Nasser al-Mohammed Al-Sabah (royals) over corruption claims and alleged misuse of public funds.<\/p>\n
Sheikh Ahmed survived a no-confidence vote on February 16, but Defense Minister Sheikh Hamad Jaber Al-Ali Al-Sabah said the lengthy grilling was an “abuse” of power.<\/p>\n
“Interrogations are a constitutional right but parliamentary practices are hindering us from fulfilling the aspirations of the Kuwaiti people,” he was quoted as saying at the time by Kuwaiti media.<\/p>\n
The country’s last\u00a0government\u00a0was sworn in December, the fourth in two years, after the previous one resigned in November amid political deadlock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
