Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Kuwait Anti-Corruption Authority (Nazaha)

  1. Step 1: The Kuwait Anti-Corruption Authority, universally known by its Arabic acronym 'Nazaha' (Integrity), was established to implement the United Nations Convention Against Corruption.
  2. Step 2: Nazaha requires all senior government officials, MPs, judges, and executive leaders to submit regular financial disclosure statements.
  3. Step 3: It investigates allegations of bribery, illicit enrichment, and embezzlement in public tenders.
Answer
Kuwait Anti-Corruption Authority (Nazaha).
Why not the others: 'State Audit Bureau' audits accounts rather than investigating individual criminal graft; 'Public Prosecution' prosecutes cases in court; 'Capital Markets Authority' regulates securities and stock exchange trading.
