CAIRO, July 4, (KUNA): Kuwait is keen on fighting all forms of corruption, and is a pioneer in administrative and financial reform at the regional and international levels, said two officials from the Gulf state on Sunday.
Civil Service Commission Assistant Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Faisal Al-Ghareeb, and Assistant Undersecretary for Parliamentary Affairs at the Office of the State Minister for National Assembly Affairs Ahmad Al-Haifi, were speaking to KUNA on the sidelines of their participation in a conference on ‘Creativity in Arab Management’ organized by the Arab Administrative Development Organization (ARADO).
