Prince Faisal said the governorate had been working to preserve integrity among officials and combat corruption in all its forms within the region .

“We are keen on raising the level of transparency in the proceedings in both the government and private sectors in order to provide a work environment conducive to the smooth functioning of development plans and also to raise the quality of performance,” he said, stressing that such efforts would result in offering high-quality services to all beneficiaries.

The awareness campaign will feature seminars, workshops, and direct meetings with government officials, citizens, students and youth. It seeks to change the mindset of many people, he said.
