(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) KUWAIT, Oct 24 (KUNA) -- Kuwait's Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs and Acting Information Minister Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah Al-Sabah said Tuesday he would not resign nor asked to be dismissed, after 10 MPs filed a no-confidence motion against him.
"I will keep on doing my job and will not resign nor asked to be dismissed," Sheikh Mohammad told reporters when asked to comment about the no-confidence motion.
"I am honored to be at the service of His Highness the Amir from any position, be it a ministerial or not, but I have no intention to resign," he added.
