Kuwait Assembly Must Find Ways To Root Out Corruption

The worst kind of danger prevalent in the country is that corruption has become a matter of prestige to such an extent that some people even brag about it”, reports Al-Rai daily quoting the General Coordinator of Kuwait Progressive Movement (KPM) Anwar Al-Fikri. During a seminar titled “Why has Kuwait become more corrupt?” organized by KPM, Al- Fikri said, “Nowadays, we are bringing up our generations in an atmosphere filled with corruption. This is more of a moral problem than a political issue”. He went on to say, “Corruption has extended to oversight and union bodies, even in Parliament”.

Al-Fikri wondered why some people are being convicted for posting some Twitter messages when millions of dinars are being looted without anyone being held accountable. He indicated the existence of nine dummy authorities, which were formed with the objective of a certain political quota, stressing that, “Corruption is not a unique case. It exists with the support of people with influence and political allegiances”.
