KUWAIT: Kuwait's parliament rejected on Thursday a motion to hold a no-confidence vote against the OPEC producer's oil minister, state news agency KUNA reported."Parliament rejects the motion...and renews confidence in him (the minister)," KUNA said.
Last week, 10 members of parliament submitted a motion to hold a no-confidence vote on Minister of Oil, Electricity and Water Bakhit al-Rashidi, following questions about his management of the oil portfolio.
Rashidi took over the post in the Gulf state last December in a cabinet reshuffle after the previous cabinet resigned when its information minister was questioned by parliament.
