Kuwaiti MPs Call for Vote of No-Confidence
June 25th, 2009 by Blake
Kuwaiti Interior Minister Sheikh Jaber Khaled al-Sabah, was accused Tuesday of involvement in election violations and financial irregularities at the Interior Ministry. Yet the most controversial criticism has come in the wake of his ordering the installation of a security camera installation outside of parliament, which many believe is a means by which to monitor lawmakers.
Led by MP Musallam al-Barrak, ten Kuwaiti MPs have filed for a no-confidence vote against al-Sabah under the auspices of “wrongdoing.” A block of ten is the minimum required to rule a no-confidence vote in Kuwait, which has in the past consistently caused cabinet resignation. The vote of no-confidence is scheduled for July 1.
