During his visit on Saturday to the headquarters of the Federal Integrity Commission, Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi directed the activation of the law rewarding informants about corruption cases, the strengthening of monitoring border crossings, and the exposure of corrupt individuals, stressing the need to submit monthly and quarterly reports on the progress of combating corruption and the level of achievement.
During the field visit, Al-Zaydi met with the head of the commission and its senior staff, and was briefed on its working mechanisms and efforts in combating corruption and protecting public funds, according to a statement issued by his media office.
The statement quoted Al-Zaydi as saying that “the Integrity Commission is a monument that cannot be measured by its walls, but rather by its scales, and by its two pans, which are integrity and the preservation of public funds,” stressing that the battle against corruption is great, and that the commission represents the first line of defense in it.
The Prime Minister stressed that the role of the commission should not be limited to the oversight aspect, but should also include the preventive aspect, stressing the need to work on eradicating the corruption system completely, and to follow up on the governorates’ projects in the same way as the ministries’ projects.
He directed that projects be monitored according to three levels that correspond to the size and cost of the project, starting with high-cost projects, then medium-cost projects, and then small projects, in order to ensure that the supervisory effort is directed more effectively.
For his part, the head of the commission confirmed the formation of field teams to audit contracts in state institutions. The audit of contracts for eight ministries has been completed, while work continues to complete the rest of the institutions. He pointed out the completion of the National Strategy for Integrity and Combating Corruption, which extends until 2030, and stressed the commission’s readiness to move forward in combating corruption and preserving public funds.
