KUWAIT: Kuwait formally dissolved parliament in a decree issued yesterday, state news agency Kuna said, as the Gulf Arab state’s crown prince moved to resolve a standoff between the government and elected parliament that has hindered fiscal reform.
Last month Crown Prince Shaikh Meshal Al Ahmad Al Sabah, who took over most of the ruling Emir’s duties, said he was dissolving parliament and would call for early elections. On Monday he approved a cabinet headed by a new prime minister.
