Kuwait democracy in action. The government quit.... Kuwaiti government resigns Agencies gulfnews.com Kuwait City: The government, barely in office for eight months, handed in its resignation on Sunday. The Emir, Shaikh Sabah Al Ahmed Al Sabah, has accepted the resignation a Kuwaiti government official said on Sunday. "As far as I know, the resignation has been submitted to the emir, and it has been accepted," said parliament speaker Jassem Al Kharafi. The move comes ahead of a no-confidence vote against Health Minister Shaikh Ahmad Abdullah Al Sabah, a member of the ruling family. Kuwait's Deputy Prime Minister Ismail Al Shatti said that cabinet members resigned because of "the difficulties in working with the parliament". "I have been informed that the government has presented its resignation," said parliament member De'ij Al Shammari. Kuwait's parliament has a history of challenging the cabinet, whose prime minister must be from the ruling family. "We hope the next government will be a strong one, including strong ministers with a clear vision that parliament can work with," said parliament member Ahmad Al Shuhmi.
