FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Kuwaiti Information Minister Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah Al Sabah told a press conference on Monday that the cabinet decided to step down in order to pave the way for a new government to “take the necessary legal and constitutional procedures to implement the constitutional court ruling.”
“The cabinet held an emergency meeting and decided to submit its resignation to the emir,” Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah Al-Sabah adding that “our aim is to establish correct constitutional principles so there are no reasons for future legal challenges.”
The government, headed by Prime Minister Sheikh Jaber Mubarak Al-Sabah, was formed four months ago and it is the ninth government to resign in the oil-rich country since February 2006.
On Wednesday, the constitutional court, whose rulings are final, declared February’s legislative election won by the opposition illegal and reinstated the previous pro-government parliament. The unprecedented verdict came days after Kuwaiti ruler Sheikh Sabah suspended the parliament for a month following a row between the cabinet and lawmakers.
The court says that two decrees dissolving the previous parliament and calling for a fresh election, both issued in December, were found to be unconstitutional.
But opposition MPs have rejected the ruling as a “coup against the constitution” and have urged the court to reverse the verdict.
The former lawmakers have also called on Kuwaitis to hold a protest rally on Tuesday against the verdict.
