In a significant move aimed at reinforcing national legal talent, Attorney General Counselor Saad Al-Safran issued a directive to transfer several prosecutors from partial and specialized prosecution offices to the General Prosecution Office. This decision is part of Kuwait’s broader strategy to "Kuwaitize" its legal framework and empower qualified local professionals across all levels of the justice system.

What makes this announcement especially noteworthy is the inclusion of highly qualified Kuwaiti women prosecutors in the transfers. This marks the first time such appointments have been made at the General Prosecution Office, establishing a new precedent in the country's legal history.

This action reflects Kuwait’s ongoing commitment to gender equality and inclusion in leadership roles, reinforcing the importance of diversity in shaping a robust judicial framework.

Aligning with Vision of National Leadership

The decision comes in line with the directives of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, who has consistently emphasized the importance of increasing the participation of Kuwaiti nationals, especially women, in all branches of the state, including key sectors like the judiciary.

In a related development, Counselor Saad Al-Safran also appointed Counselor Badr Al-Masoud—currently serving as First Attorney General and Head of the Attorney General’s Technical Office—as the new Head of the General Prosecution Office.

Strengthening the Justice System with National Talent

The recent reshuffling underscores Kuwait’s commitment to building a future-ready judiciary rooted in national expertise and diversity. By promoting capable Kuwaiti legal professionals—both men and women—the country is reinforcing its foundations of justice, equality, and administrative integrity.
