Riad al-Adsany, Abdulkarim al-Kundari, and Hussein al-Mutairi intend to question Sheikh Jaber over 12 issues including cash hand-outs to MPs, mismanagement of sovereign wealth fund investments, and housing shortages. A cabinet reshuffle on 6 January has failed to quell Kuwait’s increasing political turbulence.
Previous attempted "grillings" of senior government officials have resulted in the Kuwaiti government resigning en masse in order to avoid being questioned. This has previously led to Emir Sheikh Sabah bin Ahmed al-Sabah dissolving parliament and calling for fresh elections in a bid to break the impasse.
