Shiites make up one third of Kuwait's indigenous population of 900,000. But they have only five members in the 50-seat parliament elected last July, down from six in the previous parliament. They also have one post in the emirate's 16-member cabinet, that of Mohammad Abulhasan, who holds the important information portfolio.
