Bid to defuse standoff; Amir urges MPs to work with Cabinet

Aab Times – KUWAIT (RTRS): HH the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah urged parliament on Monday to cooperate more with the government, weighing in to defuse a standoff that is threatening to delay key legislation. Kuwait’s parliament, which has a history of challenging the cabinet in a region where the public has little say, has been caught in a row with the government that led to the resignation of the last cabinet in March. Despite vows of a fresh start by the new line-up, deputies attacked Oil Minister Sheikh Ali Al-Jarrah Al-Sabah last week for seeking advice from a cousin who was investigated several years ago on suspicion of a role in an embezzlement case at a state oil firm.
Another parliament session ended in turmoil after deputies accused each other of misusing public funds, prompting Sheikh Sabah to tell Speaker Jassem Al-Khorafi that deputies should focus on legislating.
