RIYADH, 18 February, 2021 (TON): A decree issued on Wednesday by Kuwait’s emir sets to postpone the parliament meetings for a month.

The decree issued is effective from Thursday, 18 February, 2021.

Based on Article 106 of the constitution, Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah issued the decree.

The article stipulates that the emir may, by a decree, adjourn parliament sessions for a period not exceeding one month.

Kuwait’s emir last month reappointed Sheikh Sabah Al-Khalid Al-Sabah as the prime minister to nominate a new cabinet, who had resigned along with his Cabinet members a week earlier.

However, the Kuwaiti Cabinet’s resignation came due to the current developments in the relationship between the National Assembly (parliament) and the government.
