(Reuters : Kuwait’s new Emir Sheikh Meshal al-Ahmad al-Sabah, who took over when his predecessor died on Saturday, was formally sworn in before parliament on Wednesday.
In his first speech after being sworn in as the new head of state, the emir said it was necessary to review Kuwait’s current reality, especially in terms of security, economy and living conditions.
He stressed “the importance of follow-up, responsible oversight, and objective accountability within the framework of the constitution and the law for negligence, dereliction and tampering with the interests of citizens.”
Kuwait will maintain its Gulf, regional and international commitments, Sheikh Meshal added.
