Referring 18 officers of the Kuwaiti Ministry of the Interior to the Public Prosecution
New details were revealed in the case of violations of the General Administration of the Coast Guard in Kuwait raised by Al-Qabas newspaper in its issue issued last Tuesday. Informed sources revealed to Al-Qabas that 18 officers in the Ministry of Interior were referred to the Public Prosecution on charges of committing violations that led to waste of public money.
The sources said that the referral came after an investigation committee formed by former Interior Minister Sheikh Thamer Al-Ali last May filed a report that included accusations of forgery and manipulation against these officers, including prominent security leaders, including assistant undersecretaries, and directors of departments.
The sources added that the report revealed suspicions of fraud in the contracts of the radar system, which turned out to be dilapidated, and made the coast guard force in Kuwait the weakest among the countries in the region.
The sources indicated that the committee based some of its findings on the report of the Audit Bureau 2020-2021, which alerted to the existence of differences in the settlement of maintenance contracts for the radar system, which led to the discovery of a shortage of used maintenance parts.
In its report, the “Accounting” indicated that about 11 million dinars were wasted on buying interceptor boats that were not taken advantage of, in violation of contractual terms, which caused security breaches and repeated incidents of infiltration into our territorial waters.
Documents reviewed by Al-Qabas revealed suspicions of manipulation in the committees and teams previously formed to receive and install the parts of the radar system, through an “inventory settlement to prove the presence of the aforementioned pieces”, while proving the presence of the pieces contradicts reason, logic and the nature of engineering jurisdiction, due to the impossibility of ascending the technical supply team to the towers and examining the towers. The cuttings are at a high altitude except with the presence of special equipment, as well as the absence of cutting data, which means a tampering with the previous reports that claimed their existence!
The sources revealed that two of the persons referred to the Public Prosecution Office found that when they handed over their orders to the Ministry, they were using 14 cars.
