National Assembly Speaker Ali Al-Rashed told reporters after a meeting with Justice Minister Shareeda Al-Maousherji that he has been informed that “Cabinet ministers submitted their resignation to the prime min- ister and accordingly they will not attend the Assembly session tomorrow (today)”. Rashed insisted that the step is not a Cabinet resig- nation as only ministers have submitted their resig- nations. Under Kuwaiti law, the Cabinet resigns when the prime minister submits his resignation and the res- ignations of Cabinet minis- ters to HH the Amir. It becomes effective only after the Amir accepts it. Rashed said that as the government Ali Al-Rashed has its measures, the Assembly also has its constitution- al methods. Earlier in the day, Rashed could not open the Assembly session because of the absence of the gov- ernment which boycotted the session in protest against the two grillings against the two ministers. Rashed told MPs present in the chamber that “due to the absence of Continued on Page15 MoH issues KUWAIT: Arrested women are herded into a bus during a surprise raid in Shuwaikh Industrial area yesterday. guidelines 400 in police net amid crackdown on new virus 6 new Saudi cases By Hanan Al-Saadoun Gen Sulaiman Al-Fahd said in a statement and cooperation with different sectors of under the illusion that the security men that the campaign covering Shuwaikh the ministry that acted in a civilized way, are only looking into particular cases, KUWAIT: Kuwait’s Ministry of Health made an admin- KUWAIT: Around 400 foreign workers Industrial area was one of several such guaranteeing everyone’s legal rights.
