Three opposition MPs on Thursday sought to question Kuwait's prime minister, accusing him of giving cash handouts to lawmakers and mismanagement in sovereign wealth fund investments. The request, filed by Riyadh al-Adasani, Abdulkarim al-Kundari and Hussein al-Mutairi, could lead to a **-confidence vote that may force Prime Minister Sheikh Jaber Mubarak al-Sabah's dismissal. The lawmakers said Kuwait's sovereign wealth fund had posted losses in recent years in a number of major foreign investments, and despite that billions of dollars more were pumped into them. As a result of grillings of the premier and ministers, Sheikh Jaber reshuffled his cabinet in January.
