Nazaha begins trial phase of digital whistleblower, tracking e-services via Sahel App
Launch coincides with International Whistleblowers Day, observed annually on June 23
The Public Authority for Combating Corruption (Nazaha) has launched a pilot phase of three new electronic services through the unified government e-services application (Sahl), including submission of corruption reports, attachment of additional documents, and tracking of report status.
Nazaha said in a statement that the initiative is part of efforts to develop its digital services and facilitate the reporting and follow-up of suspected corruption through secure and confidential channels.
It said the pilot phase is intended to test service efficiency and assess user experience ahead of an official launch, following evaluation and any necessary improvements to ensure quality digital services for users.
The authority said the launch coincides with International Whistleblowers Day, observed annually on June 23, highlighting the role of whistleblowers in exposing corruption, protecting public funds, and strengthening transparency and accountability.
It added that the reporting service allows users to submit corruption suspicions electronically with confidentiality, while the document attachment feature enables additional supporting information to be submitted during case review stages.
Nazaha said the tracking service is designed to enhance transparency by allowing reporters to follow the progress of their submissions from receipt to final decision, improving communication and trust between the authority and users.
It reaffirmed its commitment to protecting whistleblowers at personal, administrative, and legal levels under relevant laws and international conventions, ensuring confidentiality of all submitted information.
The authority said that reports with sufficient legal grounds are referred to the competent judicial authorities when necessary, and that all cases are reviewed and investigated according to legal procedures.
Nazaha added that whistleblowers play a key role in Kuwait’s national integrity system and have contributed to uncovering corruption cases referred to judicial bodies, thanking those who report violations in support of public funds protection and the rule of law.
