Ahmad Al-saadoun Blames The Government For The Increasing Level Of Corruption

Former National Assembly speaker Ahmad Al-Sa’adoun blames the government for the increasing level of corruption, attributing the situation to the government’s inability to confront corruption, reports Al-Qabas daily. Al-Sa’adoun said this during a symposium titled “Governmental corruption, judiciary independence and lifting the citizenships” organized by the Independent List at the headquarters of Kuwait Lawyers Society.

He highlighted a report issued in 2003 about corruption in Kuwait which included a suggestion to rectify the situation, indicating that the report was referred to the Cabinet but the latter did not do anything regarding that report since then.

Al-Sa’adoun expressed his surprise over the statements issued by His Highness the Prime Minister, affirming that most of the senior officials have been appointed based on wasta. He said the current Parliament is not different from the 2013 Parliament during the tenure of which all freedom-limiting laws were approved, adding that the 2013 parliament confronted enforcement of laws that protect state properties and public funds. In conclusion, Al-Sa’adoun lamented about the recent hike in the level of corruption.
