Kuwait ministers walk out of heated session over loans relief – The National

Kuwait’s National Assembly descended into chaos on Tuesday as arguments broke out over a draft law supported by an overwhelming majority of MPs calling for debt relief for Kuwaiti citizens.

National Assembly Speaker Ahmad Al Saadoun was forced to suspend the session and postpone it until Wednesday morning.

Several ministers withdrew from the hall on Tuesday in protest after legislators denied a government request to postpone discussion on a Parliamentary Finance Committee report.
