Kuwait emir accepts govt resignation, instructs cabinet to remain as caretaker

Kuwait City [Kuwait]: Kuwait's Emir Sheikh Nawaf Al Ahmad Al Sabah accepted on Sunday the resignation of the government and instructed the outgoing government to remain in a caretaker capacity until a new cabinet is formed, according to state news agency KUNA.

Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah submitted on November 8 the resignation of his cabinet, formed in March, reported Khaleej Times. Al Sabah seeks to end a feud with lawmakers who have hindered fiscal reforms - hit hard last year by low oil prices and the pandemic - and enact a debt law needed to tap global markets.
