Kuwait's official news agency says the country's emir has reappointed the oil and finance ministers in a new Cabinet following parliamentary elections earlier this month.
The Kuwait News Agency published the Cabinet list Friday that showed key portfolios of defense, interior and foreign affairs will continue to be held by members of the ruling Al Sabah family.
The number of women in the 16-member Cabinet was reduced from two to one despite four women winning parliamentary seats for the first time in the May 16 vote. Modhi al-Homoud was appointed as education minister.
Sheik Ahmed Al Abdullah Al Sabah retained the oil ministry, and Mostafa al-Shimali came back as finance minister.
