Kuwaiti cabinet OKs draft decree naming new minister of Emiri Diwan Affairs
Aug 11 (Reuters) - The Kuwaiti Cabinet on Wednesday approved a draft decree appointing Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah Al-Mubarak as Minister of Emiri Diwan Affairs, two weeks after the previous minister was abruptly dismissed.
The decree was submitted to the Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, the cabinet said in a statement.
The Emiri Diwan, which serves as the royal palace, said on 28 July that the Emir decided to relieve Sheikh Ali Al-Jarrah from the post, without elaborating.
