The Kuwaiti Cabinet on Wednesday approved a draft decree appointing Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah Al – Mubarak as Minister of Emiri Diwan Affairs, two weeks after the previous minister was abruptly dismissed.
The decree was submitted to the Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Nawaf Al – Ahmad Al – Sabah, the cabinet said in a statement.
The Emiri Diwan, which serves as the royal palace, said on 28 July that the Emir decided to relieve Sheikh Ali Al – Jarrah from the post, without elaborating.
