KUNA quoted parliament speaker Marzouk al-Ghanem as saying Monday he had received a letter that all 16 ministers submitted their resignations.
The Cabinet, which included seven members of the ruling al-Sabah family, was formed in August after parliamentary elections in July. Those elections were called after a constitutional court threw out the results of a December 2012 poll.
