  • The court found them responsible for negligence in contract oversight, causing a loss of over KD383,000 in public funds.

A Kuwaiti court has ordered the dismissal and fined four employees of a government institution for negligence that led to a loss of public funds exceeding KD383,000. The group includes two Kuwaiti nationals and two Egyptian employees.

The Misdemeanor Court imposed fines between KD5,000 and KD20,000 on each of the four individuals. Their failure to properly verify contract feasibility, monitor project execution, and ensure adherence to contractual terms and purchase orders was cited as the cause of the financial damage.

Prosecutors accused the employees of neglecting their responsibilities, which included reviewing agreements with companies and failing to implement necessary follow-up measures for contractual obligations. Beyond the financial penalties, the court mandated their removal from their government service roles.
