The resignation of education minister Ahmed Abdulmohsen Al Mulaifi, the second cabinet member to resign in two weeks, has been accepted by Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad, the Ruler of Kuwait.
No reason was given for the resignation of Mr. Al Mulaifi, but local media reported that he stepped down after two Egyptian workers were killed at a construction site for Kuwait’s new university.
Commerce and Industry Minister Abdulmohsen Al Med’ej was appointed to take over Al Mulaifi’s portfolio until his replacement is found.
