‘High rate of conviction reflects probe quality’

KUWAIT CITY, March 29: The 2025 annual report of the Public Prosecution has drawn the attention of legal experts, given the remarkable case completion rates and the quality of investigation outcomes. These results proved the improvement in the criminal justice system and its ability to address emerging crimes and their complexities.

Attorney Enam Haidar affirmed that the report embodies institutional efficiency and a strong commitment to uphold the rule of law. She pointed out that achieving a 97.5 percent case completion rate proves that cases are resolved immediately without compromising the guarantees of a fair trial. She added that the high conviction rate reflected the quality of investigations and the accuracy of evidence collection, thereby boosting public trust in the prosecution.

Attorney Abdulmohsen Al-Qattan asserted that the noticeable improvement in the prosecution's performance demonstrates the effectiveness of integration among law enforcement agencies. He indicated that dealing with cybercrimes and national security crimes necessitates the use of advanced legal tools and qualified personnel, as shown in the report.

He stressed the need to continue updating legislation to keep pace with the nature of modern crimes to guarantee deterrence and to protect society. Attorney Jarrah Mubarak Al-Wawan stated that the level of transparency adopted by the prosecution in publishing its annual data enhances the principle of accountability and opens the door for an objective evaluation of performance.

He confirmed that this step boosts public trust in the judicial institution, adding that the next phase requires expediting litigation procedures while maintaining the highest standards of justice, especially in handling highly sensitive cases. The three legal experts agreed that the 2025 achievements of the prosecution are considered a positive indicator of the development of the judicial system in the country. They also underscored the importance of continuing support for legal professionals and adopting the latest technologies to ensure the sustainability of this performance and to overcome challenges in the future.
