Manama: Kuwait's government has condemned statements that it had struck deals with some lawmakers to support the information minister in a no-confidence vote as "baseless allegations."
Shaikh Ahmad Al Abdullah last week survived the vote at the parliament after he was accused by ten MPs of failing to address, in a vigorous manner, televisions stations that threatened national unity and social cohesion.
The minister, who is also in charge of the oil portfolio, survived the motion by one vote after 23 MPs voted for him, 22 against and three lawmakers abstained in the motion that needed 25 votes to oust him from office.
