The Kuwait government that was formed in October by Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmad Nawaf Al Sabah resigned on Monday.
According to media reports, the government resigned due to its refusal to make financial commitments and in protest of the request made by lawmakers to question Cabinet affairs and finance ministers, signaling a growing rift between parliament and the Cabinet.
