“In a controversial move, Al-Sudani granted approvals to distribute residential land to his advisors and relatives, depriving the poor and deserving of their rights in a suspicious distribution policy.
This move has sparked widespread controversy in Iraq, where the government headed by Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani continues to implement residential land distribution policies that raise many questions about their integrity and transparency, especially with the general parliamentary elections approaching. A new document reveals the allocation of residential land to the Prime Minister’s advisors and relatives, while ordinary and poor citizens remain deprived of this basic right.
A document leaked from the Prime Minister’s Office indicates that al-Sudani has allocated land to a group of his advisors and relatives, at a time when the lands were intended for the less fortunate and most needy segments of Iraqi society. Many view this behavior as an electioneering ploy by the government to benefit those close to al-Sudani’s circle, raising questions about the criteria for land distribution and the extent of fairness in treating deserving groups.
Electioneering at the Expense of the Poor
Informed sources indicated that Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has begun distributing prime real estate in the Green Zone to prominent figures in his party, in an attempt to finance his upcoming election campaign. What raises questions is the involvement of one of his advisors, considered the godfather and maestro of the deal-making process, who has moved between three political parties before finally settling with the man with the most power and wealth.
This advisor is considered a key player in al-Sudani’s circle, known for his ability to build a network of relationships with influential political figures. Through these real estate deals, it is believed that al-Sudani is attempting to use public resources to support an election campaign that represents a real threat to the chances of his rivals.
This distribution raises serious questions about how the prime minister’s office is being used for personal and partisan gain at the expense of public funds. Continuing such practices will widen the trust gap between the government and the people and expose the credibility of the executive branch to significant risks.
Distributing land in this manner is considered a use of public resources as an electoral propaganda tool, through which Al-Sudani seeks to gain political and popular loyalty, while marginalizing the groups most deserving of this land—those with limited income and those who deserve it.
The judiciary is the only hope
, but despite all this, hope still rests on the Iraqi judiciary, which may play an effective role in stopping this carnival of distributing privileged lands to those close to the government. The judiciary may intervene to halt Al-Sudani’s authority to distribute land and projects to members of his advisory list.
Observers of government action have pointed out that the continuation of this suspicious policy of distributing land to advisors and their relatives would constitute a violation of social justice and would further deepen the gap between social classes in Iraq. They called for an end to this unjust distribution driven by personal interests, stressing that all eyes remain on the judiciary to strip Al-Sudani of his powers, given that he claims to be running an electoral list funded by state funds.
