Its decision issued in this regard must disclose the specific reasons prompting it. - Attribution to the appellant of facts that stigmatize his conduct, distance him from adherence to the values and traditions of Kuwaiti society, and place him under suspicion and in the position of harming the country abroad. Constitutes sufficient grounds to sustain the administrative authority's decision issued in this regard. This is not undermined by the appellant's denial of what was attributed to him and the closure of the investigation concerning him. It is not necessary that what he committed be the subject of a judgment convicting him, so long as the papers indicate the existence of material indicia of the facts attributed to him that are liable to harm the country's reputation.
