Manama: Kuwaitis are holding their breath as a crucial week for the country’s political future is inexorably approaching.

The Constitutional Court is scheduled to issue a ruling on Monday that will either consolidate the status of the current parliament or lead to its dissolution.

This comes amid reports that the government will resign regardless of the verdict as more motions to quiz ministers are expected to be filed.

The current parliament was voted in on July 27 following a ruling by the Constitutional Court in June that declared that the previous parliament, elected in December 2012, was not constitutional.

However, petitions were filed against the new parliament on the grounds that the government that called for the elections was “illegitimate” as it did not include any elected member from the parliament, as is required by law.

Parliamentarian sources said that at least three lawmakers would move to question ministers ahead of the court ruling, giving more reasons for the government to resign, local Arabic daily Al Seyassah reported on Wednesday.

MP Saleh Ashoor is expected to file a motion to quiz the Education Minister Nayef Al Hajraf on Thursday while MP Riyadh Al Adasani will make his move to grill the Finance Minister Shaikh Salem Al Abdul Aziz on Sunday.

Safa Al Hashem, one of the three woman lawmakers elected to the current parliament, will submit her request to question the Minister of Commerce and Industry Anas Al Saleh on Sunday or Monday.

The sources told the daily that the cabinet was most likely not to face the confrontation with the parliament on Tuesday and will resign.

The government is currently working on dealing with the demands put forth by the parliament, starting with a no-confidence motion against its minister for planning and development, Rola Dashti, scheduled to be taken up next week.

The minister has reportedly been working on reducing the number of lawmakers who would support the motion against her, but her efforts have not been conclusive, sources that the paper did not identify said.

The cabinet will also have to deal with a motion filed by MPs Abdullah Al Tamimi and Faisal Al Duwaisan against Salem Al Adhina, the state minister for municipality affairs, over the sensitive issue of national unity.

“It is likely that some parties have asked lawmakers to file motions to grill ministers, which will push the government to resign on the grounds that the parliament is overindulging in using its constitutional tools,” the sources said. “The government can then hand in its resignation, arguing that it did not want the stand-off with the parliament to affect national unity. The possibility of introducing a cabinet reshuffle to dodge the grilling motions will not have the anticipated effect as the number of moves by lawmakers is too high,” the sources said.
