KUWAIT — The National Assembly postponed on Wednesday the interpellation of Health Minister Sheikh Dr. Basel Al-Humoud Al-Sabah for a period of two weeks.

The motions — submitted by two MPs — saw 34 members voting in favor of the postponement, 14 against it, while 11 MPs abstained. The session was attended by 59 MPs.

The minister called for postponing the interpellation and affirmed that MPs had the right to question the Cabinet within the framework of the constitution.

MPs Dr. Ahmad Al-Aazmi and Saud Bu-Salaib submitted the motion on March 30, focusing on the minister's handling of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the occurrence of administrative and financial violations at the ministry, as well as lack of cooperation with legislative authority. — KUNA
