Kuwait’s government officially denied on Sunday reports about its intention to dissolve the National Assembly by February.
It stressed that its relations with the legislative authority are based on cooperation.
Government spokesman Tariq al-Mezrem has dismissed as “baseless” a press report about a ministerial committee’s recommendation for dissolving the National Assembly.
“The report published by a local newspaper with a headline reading ‘Ministerial Report Recommends National Assembly’s Dissolution,’ is baseless and totally untrue,” Mezrem asserted in a press statement.
He also stressed that the relations between the executive and legislative powers are based on cooperation with the separation of powers.
He pointed out that the government is working during the parliamentary holiday to prepare its legislative agenda for the upcoming legislative term as requested by Prime Minister Sheikh Jaber al-Mubarak al-Hamad al-Sabah.
Mezrem urged the media and press to pursue accuracy and to double check their information with official sources before publishing it.
