KUWAIT CITY: Kuwait’s Finance Minister Manaf Abdulaziz Al Hajri on Tuesday resigned just after three months in office.
The resignation was approved by Kuwait’s national assembly speaker Ahmed Al-Sadoun, during a meeting on Tuesday, according to Arab News.
Al Hajri was posted as finance incharge in April this year by the prime minister during the cabinet reshuffle.
Political instability in Kuwait
A general election in September last year had delivered a mandate for change, bringing twenty-seven new legislators to the fifty-member assembly.
However, in March, the Constitutional Court of Kuwait annulled the decree disbanding the previous parliament and reinstated it.
A few weeks later, the ruling Al Sabah family disbanded that parliament for a second time, setting up the most recent polls, in which most of the legislators elected in September regained their seats.
