Finance Minister Says He Has Tendered Resignation But Continuing Duties

Finance Minister Barrak Al-Sheetan said on Thursday that he had tendered his resignation to His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah. The minister, who on Wednesday denied tendering his resignation, made a new statement today, saying that he had put his resignation at disposal of His Highness the Prime Minister, adding that his step “was a regular measure after the National Assembly renewed confidence in him twice.”

He indicated that he submitted the proposal to the prime minister to step down “to affirm that he is not dedicated to the post but to the public interest,” noting that it was up to His Highness the Prime Minister to accept or turn down his request to leave the ministry. Moreover, the minister has affirmed that he is pursuing his duties in office as regular.
