Kuwaiti Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah Al Khaled Al Sabah and members of his new government performed the constitutional oath before the country’s National Assembly on Tuesday.
The cabinet was sworn in before the crown prince, the official KUNA news agency reported.
It is the fourth government that Sabah Al Khaled Al Sabah has formed since his appointment as prime minister in December 2019.
Article 91 of the Kuwaiti constitution requires members of the government who are not members of parliament to take the constitutional oath in a session of the National Assembly, according to the Kuwait News Agency (Kuna).
Oil Minister Mohammed Al Fares and Foreign Minister Sheikh Ahmed Nasser Al Mohammed Al Sabah retain their posts in the reshuffle.
However, the new line-up includes a critical voice in Finance Minister Abdulwahab Al Rushaid, who earlier this month called on government to “focus on a sustainable economy rather than on the fluctuations of oil prices”.
