Kuwait's Minister of Education Jalal Al-Tabtabaei on Thursday referred seven cases of suspected financial and administrative corruption to the public prosecutor, the Ministry of Education said.

The ministry said the violations included abuse of power for personal gain, embezzlement of public funds, forgery of official documents, and other financial and administrative irregularities that breach the law.

Separately, the Anti-Corruption Authority (Nazaha) said it had referred supervisors at the National Council for Culture, Arts, and Letters to the public prosecutor over allegations of causing harm to public funds.

Al-Tabtabaei said on Thursday that seven cases of suspected financial and administrative corruption were referred to the public prosecutor following the discovery of serious violations.

The decision came after the activation of the minister’s Inspection and Audit Office, which oversees internal monitoring across the ministry’s sectors, Al-Tabtabaei said in a statement.

“The ministry is committed to upholding the highest standards of transparency and integrity, and the law will take its course without exceptions,” he said, adding that any misconduct or breach of responsibility would be met with firmness and accountability.

“No one is above the law,” Al-Tabtabaei stressed.

“We will continue implementing our reform plan to achieve our goals and eliminate all forms of corruption—whether administrative, financial, or educational.”

He said the ministry would persist in addressing irregularities and holding those responsible accountable.

“We will not hesitate to take the necessary measures to protect public funds and safeguard the integrity of the education system,” he added, noting that the ministry is working with relevant authorities to strengthen internal oversight and prevent future violations.

In a separate statement, the Ministry of Education said the violations included abuse of power for personal gain, embezzlement of public funds, forgery of official documents, and financial and administrative breaches of ministry regulations.

The ministry said all documents related to the suspected corruption were submitted with each case file to allow authorities to take appropriate legal action and ensure transparency.

It added that additional files involving new corruption allegations are under review, and any confirmed violations will be referred to the public prosecutor in line with legal procedures.
