RIYADH: The secretary-general of the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol), Jurgen Stock, on Tuesday lauded Saudi Arabia for taking effective measures to fight corruption. He expressed these views during a virtual meeting with Mazen bin Ibrahim Al-Kahmous, president of the Oversight and Anti-Corruption Authority (Nazaha). Al-Kahmous thanked the Interpol official for accepting the Kingdom’s invitation to participate in the first anti-corruption ministerial meeting of the G20 to be held on Oct. 22. The aim of the meeting is to promote integrity and use all G20 countries’ resources to root out corruption. During the meeting, they discussed several issues of common interest. Nazaha chief said the Saudi government was keen to adopt several pioneering G20 initiatives to fight corruption. Nazaha aims to create a work environment of integrity, transparency, honesty, justice and equality in the bodies that fall within its jurisdiction or specialization. According to official statistics, financial and administrative corruption cases made up the bulk of the reports.
