Kuwait Government Resigns, but Stays as Caretaker

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – Kuwait's ruler has accepted the resignation of the government, but has asked the Cabinet to remain in a caretaker role.


The decision by the emir, Sheik Sabah Al Ahmed Al Sabah, to keep the Cabinet in office is likely to anger opposition groups that have pressed for the dismissal of his prime minister amid a growing crisis over corruption accusations.

The report Monday on the state-run Kuwait News Agency did not give a timetable for how long the caretaker Cabinet could remain before possible elections in the oil-rich nation.
