KUWAIT CITY, July 24: The Court of Cassation upheld the decision of a lower court to impose KD300 on 54 employees at the Ministry of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy for embezzling more than KD164,000 of public funds by falsifying their attendance records while they were outside the country. Investigations revealed that the accused left the country for varying periods, but their attendance continued to be recorded regularly, thereby enabling them to unlawfully receive salaries. Case documents indicated that the employees returned the amount they embezzled after an investigation. Nevertheless, the concerned court convicted them of embezzling public funds and falsifying official records, and fined them KD300 each.
