       ■ Weak mechanisms and procedures for controlling the payment of salaries, which resulted in the disbursement of KD 516,000 without any right

       ■ Inflated local current assets account balance as receivables, as amounts under collection are KD 876,000, and these amounts remain uncollected

       ■ Revolving balances in the account of debts owed by the government, amounting to KD 950 thousand, which continue to remain unsettled

       ■ Weak monitoring of real estate registration operations, which affected the percentage of revenues

       ■ The inability to verify the entitlement to disbursement of KD 38,000 to the beneficiaries of the Family Insurance Fund, without attaching the certificate of the Public Institution for Social Security

       ■ Disbursing amounts without entitlement from the Family Insurance Fund to non-Kuwaitis

       ■ Continuing to transfer KD 1.5 million annually to the Family Insurance Fund, despite the inflated account balance

       ■ The ministry’s failure to take measures to end the centralization of contracting regarding some contracts for housing judges and advisors, which amounted to approximately KD 700,000 annually

       ■ Burdening the State Treasury with a sum of KD 190,000 for the residence of the newly loaned members of the judiciary in hotels for a long period, as a result of the lack of prior coordination to allocate housing and appropriate furniture to them

       ■ Unjustly depositing KD 168,000 as salaries for the ministry’s employees.
