97 Percent Of Officials Submitted Their Financial Disclosure Statements

Secretary-General of Kuwait Anti-Corruption Authority (Nazaha) Dr Mohammad Bouzuber affirmed that the three percent of officials who did not submit their financial disclosure statements is a small number compared to the great achievement realized after 97 percent of officials submitted their financial disclosure statements.

He explained that the authority has been enumerating the disclosures that have not been submitted. Warnings have been sent to those who did not submit yet. The Public Prosecutor’s Office was requested to investigate those who are late or in violation. When asked about the judicial investigation, Dr Bouzuber told reporters that “Judicial investigation is a procedure carried out by staff members of the authority who carry special ID cards. They are assigned under the law and regulations to go to any governmental entity and request for any information as well as photocopy any paper to complete their investigations.”

He went on to explain that the nature of the work of the judicial officers is not similar to that of the State Audit Bureau because the latter is present all the time but the work of the authority is based on reports depending on need rather than on periodic basis.
