Kuwait finmin resigns after push by opposition | Reuters

Kuwait's Finance Minister Mustapha al-Shamali resigned on Thursday after a questioning session led by opposition lawmakers over alleged financial irregularities in departments he oversees.

The 69-year-old Finance Ministry veteran repeatedly had denied allegations of mismanagement on his watch.

His resignation marked fresh political discord between the government and parliament, which was only elected three months ago.
