We have no choice but Iraq, and we must serve it, and today we are facing a model of cooperation between the Husseiniya Shrine, the Ministry of Health and the Nineveh Governorate, a model that proves that Iraqis can overcome many crises in building their country.” .
Al-Kazemi did not forget to refer to the issue of the significant rise in the prices of goods and foodstuffs, which raises resentment with the citizens, and said: “I remind the Iraqis that the world is going through difficult and complicated circumstances due to the Russian-Ukrainian war, and the rise in food prices, which in some cases rose by double rates, but despite the lack of Budget, the government has taken decisions to support the citizen, and to control prices, and we have stopped customs, taxes and some fees so that the citizen is not affected by the consequences of the price escalation.”
