4. TRANSPARENCY AND DISCLOSURE IN THE STATE OF KUWAIT: BETWEEN LEGAL TEXTS AND PRACTICAL APPLICATION

Transparency and disclosure are fundamental pillars for achieving institutional integrity in Kuwait. They play a critical role in combating corruption and enhancing trust among citizens and investors. This study aims to analyse the legal framework governing transparency and disclosure in Kuwait, with particular attention to the practical challenges in implementing these laws. The research employs a descriptive approach to examine legal texts and institutional reality, an analytical approach to assess the effectiveness of disclosure mechanisms, and a comparative approach to evaluate the Kuwaiti experience against international standards and Arab and Western practices. The study encompasses five main chapters, starting with the theoretical and legislative framework, followed by comparative analysis with international standards, examination of the role of the Public Authority for Combating Corruption (Nazaha) and practical disclosure cases, identification of practical obstacles and challenges, and finally, development strategies and recommendations. The findings indicate that Kuwait has made significant strides in promoting transparency; however, clear gaps exist between legal texts and practical application. Addressing these gaps requires combined legislative and institutional efforts, promoting a culture of disclosure, and enhancing protections for whistleblowers.
