KUWAIT: Kuwait's Crown Prince HH Sheikh Meshal Al Ahmad Al Sabah accepted the resignation submitted by the government more than a month ago, issuing a decree on Tuesday asking it to stay on in a caretaker role, state news agency KUNA reported.
A lengthy political feud had hindered fiscal reform in the OPEC oil producer, and led to the government handing in its resignation on April 5 ahead of a non-cooperation motion against the prime minister in parliament.
KUNA said the Emiri decree was issued by Sheikh Meshal. It gave no timeline for when a new government would be formed.
