KUWAI CITY, Nov. 19 (Xinhua) -- Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah on Tuesday issued an order, appointing Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah as prime minister, the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) reported.
The order abrogated a previous order on Monday, which reassigned Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Hamad Al-Sabah to the post.
Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Hamad Al-Sabah declined on Monday the post after deliberation with the emir, KUNA said.
In line with the new order, Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah will be tasked with nominating members of the cabinet and providing a list of names to the emir for approval.
Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Hamad Al-Sabah submitted the resignation of his government to the emir on Nov 14. The emir accepted the resignation and ordered the cabinet to serve as a caretaker one until a new government forms.
Kuwait experiences frequent cabinet reshuffles, with the latest cabinet formed less than two years ago. Enditem
