Kuwait named a new information minister on Wednesday, two months after his predecessor quit as he was about to be questioned in parliament over allowing "immoral" Western-style concerts in the country. The Emir, His Highness Shaikh Jaber Al Ahmad Al Sabah, appointed Anas Mohammad Ahmad Al Reshaid to the post, the state news agency Kuna said. Former minister Mohammad Abulhassan resigned in January before he was due to be questioned by Islamist MPs over several allegations, including approving concerts in the country which were seen by the lawmakers as violating Sharia law. |
