Kuwait’s Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmed al-Jaber al-Sabah has sworn in the country’s new cabinet, its 10th in just six years.

The new government, which will be led by Prime Minister Sheikh Jaber al-Mubarak al-Hamad al-Sabah was formed on 23 July, a month after the suspension of parliament.

It is the third cabinet since Sheikh Jaber took over the premiership in December 2011.

The newly formed cabinet held its first session immediately, passing three decrees concerning Kuwait’s National Assembly.

The first was to implement a constitutional court ruling from 20 June, which annulled Kuwait’s 2 February parliamentary elections, dissolved the National Assembly and reinstated the previous body, elected in 2009.

It also overturned a decree from December 2011, which dissolved the previous parliament and also called for fresh elections. The decrees are yet to be signed by the emir.

Parliament was suspended on 18 June for a month to allow the former Information Minister Ahmad al-Hamoud al-Sabah, a member of the ruling family to escape a parliamentary interrogation.

No date has been set for the dissolution of the current assembly, which has only been suspended, or for fresh elections.
