Kuwait’s Emir has told the new parliament, in which opposition candidates made gains, that comprehensive reforms were needed to help the country exit its worst economic crisis in decades and that there was no time for “fabricating conflicts”.

This month’s parliamentary polls saw two-thirds of lawmakers lose their seats as opposition candidates made gains in results that analysts say could hamper government efforts to enact fiscal reform and end legislative gridlock over a debt law that would help boost state coffers.

“Our country’s path faces serious problems and big challenges that call for putting in place a comprehensive reform programme,” Sheikh Nawaf said in Tuesday’s address at the new assembly’s first session.

“There is no room for wasting more efforts, time and capabilities on fabricated conflicts, disputes and settling accounts which have become a source of frustration and discontent for citizens and an obstacle to any achievement,” he added.
