His Highness Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Hamad Al-Sabah respectably declined, Monday, the position of Prime Minister after an Amiri order was issued, tasking him with choosing members of the cabinet.
In a statement, Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak expressed gratitude to His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah for his trust in him, saying that it was an honor to serve the country and people.
Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak said that he felt sorrow over not being able to implement the order due to fear that he could not attend to his duties adequately.
He also expressed sorrow in regards news being spread over traditional and social medias, stressing that the campaign of misinformation was far from the truth and warned that will have a negative impact on the state if it continued.
Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak affirmed that he was laying his trust in the Kuwaiti legal system, which will bring justice to the forefront.
He renewed his apology to His Highness the Amir over his inability to take on the position of Prime Minister, wishing the best to whomever will be assigned as head of the cabinet.
Earlier today, His Highness the Amir reappointed Sheikh Jaber al-Mubarak al-Sabah as prime minister but removed the defence and interior ministers, both senior members of the ruling family, from their posts after the government’s resignation last week.
State News Agency also informed that His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah will deliver a speech at today 7:00 pm local-time addressing the citizens and the people of Kuwait.
