Corruption in Kuwait

Extensive corruption among Kuwait's high-level government officials is a problem resulting in political tensions between the government and the public.[1]

Dynamics

Kuwait's bureaucracy is often inefficient and non-transparent, and it can be biased in favour of domestic companies.[2] Public procurement process is cumbersome and susceptible to corruption, there are many ongoing investigations and trials involving government officials accused of wrongdoing in the procurement process.[3]

Anti-corruption efforts

The government has tried to reduce corruption and increase transparency in the public sector by establishing an independent anti-corruption authority and by strengthening the anti-corruption legal framework through several initiatives and efforts. No one has been convicted for bribery since the end of the Gulf War.[4]
