Kuwait’s top lawmaker Ahmad Al-Saadoun said on Tuesday he received a request from MP Mubarak Al-Hajraf to grill Finance Minister Abdulwahab Al-Rushaid, slated for parliament’s next session.
The minister’s planned grilling stems from numerous accusations lodged at him by the lawmaker, which include the “covering up” of financial malpractices allegedly committed by employees of Kuwait’s pension fund, in addition to the “mismanagement” of public funds.
Article 100 of Kuwait Constitution stipulates that each member of the National Assembly has the right to grill the prime minister or members of his cabinet about matters falling within their competence.
