Deputy Alia Nassif revealed, on Thursday, that Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi decided to “cancel” all the advisers on the council’s committees, considering this to close the “first corruption hotspot” in Iraq.
Nassif said in a statement. “There is news that the Prime Minister has canceled all the advisers in the energy, economy, and other committees in the prime minister, and this step, if it was already implemented, would be a first blow to some corrupt people and close the first hotspot of corruption.”
Nassif explained that “some of the consultants were not consulting in the interest of Iraq because they did not stop through their consultations the huge number of contracts obtained with the exception of the ministerial committees in the cabinet, and most corrupt contracts were passed through obtaining exceptions in the meetings of the Ministerial Council and the advisers.” Noting that “the persistence reached the point where one of the consultants entered into contracts in the ministerial committee for the benefit of a foreign entity.”
Nassif stressed that “all contract exceptions should be canceled. For example, the Ministry of Electricity was entitled to contract in the amount of one hundred million dollars, and more than this amount is divided by fraud and contracting, and if they cannot pass the contract they go to the ministerial committees.”
Nassif called on the government to “legislate the government contracts law that will contribute to closing many corruption outlets through explicit and consistent articles that are laid down in the law and followed in concluding contracts,” stressing that “this law was put on the shelf by some corrupt ministers to prevent its passage” , Noting that I have finalized it after it was prepared in cooperation with colleagues on the Legal Committee. ”
She pointed out that “the efforts of the jurists will be unified to accomplish it, and therefore if the government does not issue it, then we pledge to you, as jurists, that this law will be enacted to allow legislation with accountability for express articles before the judiciary to implement it.”
