Kuwait: According to local media, Kuwait's government has tendered its resignation to the emir, which might help settle a dispute with opposition MPs that has stymied fiscal reform. The administration led by Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah Al Khalid Al Sabah resigned on Monday, according to Al-Qabas and Al-Rai newspapers, marking the second time this year that a government led by him has resigned in a disagreement with the elected parliament.
It was unclear whether Emir Sheikh Nawaf Al Ahmad Al Sabah, who has last control on state matters, would accept the resignation of the cabinet, which was constituted in March following the resignation of the previous government in January. Several opposition MPs have demanded that the premier be questioned on a variety of matters, including the COVID-19 pandemic and corruption.
The conflict has stymied legislative progress and hampered efforts to improve the OPEC member's public finances, which were hit hard last year by low oil prices and the pandemic, as well as implement measures such as a debt law required to access global markets. For decades, deadlocks between the cabinet and the assembly have resulted in government reshuffles and parliament dissolutions, stifling investment and reform.
