(MENAFN) The Kuwaiti ruler swore in a new government on Monday, handing the defense ministry to his eldest son and appointing new oil and finance ministers, an AFP report said.
The move comes weeks after the previous government resigned following a dispute with members of parliament who filed a no-confidence motion against a senior minister, according to the report.
Emir Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah issued a decree naming the new line-up with Sheikh Jaber Mubarak Al-Sabah staying on as prime minister.
