Sheikh Ahmad Nawaf Al-Sabah Reappointed as Kuwait Prime Minister

The Crown Prince of Kuwait reappointed Sheikh Ahmad Nawaf al-Sabah as prime minister and requested that he form a new Cabinet, state news agency KUNA reported on Tuesday citing an Emiri decree.

After the legislative elections earlier this month, the former government of the prime minister resigned.

The wealthy Gulf Arab oil producer's attempts to enact fiscal changes, such as a debt law allowing Kuwait to access global markets, have been delayed by a protracted deadlock between the administration and the elected parliament.
