Kuwait’s government sworn in amid stand-off with ministers

Kuwait's Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah Al Khalid and the country's council of ministers took the oath of office on Tuesday, amid ongoing tension between the leader and elected assembly.

Dozens of politicians gathered outside the National Assembly in a sign of the tensions that have lingered since the cabinet's resignation in December, which came after a majority of MPs backed a motion to question the prime minister on various issues including his choice of ministers.

Parliament's first session after a month-long suspension ordered by the Emir is also due to discuss an amnesty bill pardoning people charged with storming parliament in 2011.
