Al-Sameet: In implementation of the high directives... sons and daughters of the nation are equal in joining the Public Prosecution
This statement was made by Al-Sumait in a press release issued today, Saturday, during his inspection of the written electronic examinations held at the University of Kuwait for graduates of the 2024/2025 academic year, who applied for the position of "Junior Legal Researcher," a qualification eligible for the role of "Deputy Public Prosecutor Grade C."
Al-Sumait stated that His Highness the Amir of Kuwait, Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, may God protect and guard him, attaches special importance to the judicial system. Accordingly, His Highness reviewed the new mechanism for admission to the Public Prosecution, the most notable feature of which is conducting examinations electronically according to unified and clear standards.
He clarified that the Kuwait Institute for Judicial and Legal Studies is responsible for preparing the examination questions, which are administered electronically at the University of Kuwait. Each applicant receives their results immediately before leaving the examination venue, followed by personal interviews before the Judicial Admissions Committee.
He added that 855 Kuwaiti nationals and citizens from the 2024/2025 academic year graduates applied, of whom 632 met the required conditions to take the exam. He emphasized that sons and daughters of the nation stand on an equal footing, and that merit based on objective results is the decisive factor in the selection process.
Al-Sumait explained that the new mechanism was applied for the first time following the cancellation of the previous admission list in July 2025 and the restart of the selection procedures. The results showed a 55% difference in names between the new admission list and the cancelled one; the new list included 73 names not present in the previous list, while 59 individuals were accepted in both lists.
Al-Sumait announced that the application window will reopen in November for graduates of the 2025/2026 academic year, continuing to supply the Public Prosecution with new national cadres and accelerating the process of Kuwaitization. This is in implementation of the provisions of the new Law on the Organization of the Judiciary No. (80) of 2026, which sets a maximum period of five years to complete the Kuwaitization of the judiciary and the Public Prosecution. He confirmed that the Ministry is proceeding along an institutional path to prepare and qualify a new generation of Public Prosecution members, who will uphold the trust of justice, safeguard societal rights, and uphold the rule of law.
Al-Sumait expressed his appreciation to the University of Kuwait, represented by its director and its academic, administrative, and technical staff, for their cooperation and efforts in organizing the electronic examinations and providing all necessary requirements to conduct them efficiently and regularly.
