Al-Huwaila added, in a statement to the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA), that “social media is a space where serious and absurd theses mix, making it difficult to differentiate and achieve the desired positive change. It may harm the country’s reputation without any basis and expose the proponents of provocative matters to legal accountability.” She emphasized that there is a shared responsibility among all those who love this country to serve it and preserve its capabilities. She called on everyone with information or allegations about suspicions of corruption or misappropriation of public funds related to any sectors under her supervision to communicate through the announced official channels and submit supporting documents. Al-Huwaila explained that the papers and documents would be studied professionally and seriously by specialized committees in complete confidentiality, and legal measures would be taken regarding them. She stressed her confidence in the honorable people of Kuwait as partners in change, giving, and advice for the benefit of the nation. (KUNA)
