Corruption theme dominates Kuwait election - FT.com

Dressed in a lilac suit and cream-coloured headscarf, Massouma al-Mubarak, Kuwait’s first female cabinet minister, drew applause from the crowds as she slammed government corruption in the oil-rich Gulf state.
“Where do the billions go?” she asked the audience of men and women who came to hear her evening address in a specially erected tent before the country’s parliamentary elections on Thursday. Tackling corruption is the predominant theme of the electioneering, even for Ms Mubarak, who has faced such allegations herself.
