Crown Prince Sheikh Meshal al-Ahmad al-Sabah named Sheikh Ahmad Nawaf al-Sabah to the post in a decree

Kuwait named the emir's son as prime minister on Sunday, replacing caretaker premier Sheikh Sabah al-Khalid who faced a combative parliament amid a feud between the government and elected assembly that has hindered fiscal reform, Qazet.az reports.

Crown Prince Sheikh Meshal al-Ahmad al-Sabah named Sheikh Ahmad Nawaf al-Sabah to the post in a decree and asked him to propose a new cabinet for approval.
