Speaking to reporters at the parliament, the minister, who also doubles as Minister of Information, said it is the government which had asked him to put the interpellation on the back burner.
Earlier on Tuesday, the National Assembly (parliament) gave the thumbs up to a request by Sheikh Ahmad Al-Abdullah for postponing the grilling filed against him by MP Ali Al-Diqbasi till March 16.
Reiterating great governmental support for him, the minister said the query for information would lead to revealing many things which concern MPs and Kuwaiti people.
Challenging the move by voicing readiness to rebuff the questions, he dismissed reports suggesting that he could lose the information portfolio over the grilling.
MP Al-Diqbasi had filed his grilling motion on the basis of two issues; slack in financial supervision over licensed media bodies, and slack in holding unlicensed channels or those breaking media and broadcasting laws accountable for their legal breaches.
