[quote:Anonymous Coward 79922509:MV80Njc0OTU4Xzg1MTgyMDQzXzNCNTM0MkRC] Analysts: [b]Kuwait[/b] in "an early crisis" ([b]13 Jan 2021[/b]) LEAD IN: Kuwait is in an "early crisis" and looking at serious challenges amid its political turmoil, experts on the matter say. [b]The country's Cabinet submitted its resignation Tuesday[/b], the latest development in a cycle of clashes between the government and lawmakers. STORY-LINE: Kuwaiti analysts say the country is facing an "early crisis" after the country's Cabinet submitted its resignation Tuesday. Some 30 lawmakers backed a no-confidence motion against the government this month. The move reveals how the country's politicking has caused instability, diminished public confidence and aggravated the oil-rich state's worst economic crisis in decades. "The government must also face the financial deficit that may last another two years and therefore they must find other sources or borrow from international lender," said economic analyst Hajjaj Bu Khadoor. The ministers quit after the recently elected members of parliament, 60% of which are new faces, grilled the prime minister to protest his new Cabinet appointments. The decision to reinstate the old parliament speaker, who hails from an elite merchant family, stirred anger among new lawmakers sceptical of corruption and the country's patronage system. The prime minister must now submit the resignations to the country's ruling emir, Sheikh Nawaf Al Ahmad Al Sabah, who is widely expected to accept them. During their interrogation of Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al Hamad Al Sabah last week, lawmakers accused him of staffing the Cabinet with "provocative and unqualified members," according to local media. Other sore points included the choices for interior minister and justice minister, who opposed a draft law on Kuwait's stateless people that parliament had hoped to pass. The resignation of the government raises concerns that the emir may dissolve parliament and force a second election in as many months. It wouldn't be the first time. Kuwait's unusual combination of an emir-appointed government and elected parliament frequently gives rise to wrangling that analysts say impedes the country's economic and social progress. The parliament can introduce legislation and question ministers, though the country's emir retains ultimate authority and ruling family members hold senior posts. "We are facing an early crisis and we are hoping it won't get worse, especially because the situation in the region needs de-escalation," al-Mana'a said [youtube]https://youtu.be/OpsRt0U7WXg[/youtube] [/quote]
