Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazimi revealed on Wednesday that he possessed information about “corrupt” persons in the ports, confirming their prosecution.
Al-Kazemi’s office said in a statement that “the latter made a tour of the northern Umm Qasr port in Basra Governorate, as part of the campaign to combat corruption in border crossings.”
He added that “the Director General of the Border Ports gave a detailed presentation on the reality of the southern, central and northern port of Umm Qasr, the mechanisms and procedures taken to facilitate the work there, and what was taken in light of the directives of the Prime Minister.”
The Prime Minister directed, according to the statement, to “protect the customs sanctuary in the ports by military forces and prevent any force or entity trying to enter into it by force, as well as limit the complex routine procedures, and work to rotate employees to reduce corruption.”
Al-Kazemi emphasized that “everyone is under surveillance, and we have information about the corrupt people in the ports, who will be prosecuted legally.” .
He pointed out that “the country is going through a financial and economic crisis today, and the most important non-oil financial revenues that can support the state treasury come from ports and customs, but today we face a great challenge with regard to these implementers, which is an opportunity for the government to impose law and order in them.”
