Al Sabah seeks to end a feud with lawmakers who have hindered fiscal reforms - hit hard last year by low oil prices and the pandemic - and enact a debt law needed to tap global markets.

The disagreement centres on the prime minister having been granted temporary immunity by parliament protecting him against questioning from MPs on issues including handling the COVID-19 pandemic and corruption until the end of 2022, reported Khaleej Times. (ANI)
