Oil Minister said to mull resignation on ‘grilling’; Cabinet to consider issue

Taken from Arab Times – KUWAIT CITY: With many MPs intent on grilling him, Oil Minister Sheikh Ali Al-Jarrah Al-Sabah may resign on Sunday, say sources. “He will take a final decision on whether to continue in the Cabinet after meeting HH the Prime Minister Sheikh Nasser Mohammed Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah,” they added.

Meanwhile, Sheikh Ali Al-Jarrah, who is in Egypt on an official visit, said “I will not talk about my resignation at this stage. Kuwait is a free country and everybody has the right to take his own decision.” Minister of Communications and State Minister for National Assembly Affairs Sharida Al-Meosherji said “in its meeting the Cabinet will spend sometime to discuss this issue and listen to Sheikh Ali Al-Jarrah’s explanations on the alleged public funds violations committed by him.”

In a related development, a reliable source said “the Popular Bloc will not reveal when it will present its grilling motion against the Oil Minister before its representative MP Marzouq Al-Hubaini meets the Prime Minister on Sunday.” Al-Hubaini will inform Sheikh Nasser Mohammed that there can be no cooperation between the Parliament and government if Sheikh Ali Al-Jarrah is allowed to stay in the Cabinet, he added.

Please Keep praying for this conflect and supporting the will of God to be Done in Kuwait
