Members of Parliament have launched a scathing attack on the previous government headed by Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, accusing it of corruption and allowing this dangerous scourge to spread. They also accused it of weakening the oversight role of Parliament and being behind the failure to open these files. Meanwhile, some parties confirmed that there is a political agreement to open corruption files at the present time, overthrow the corrupt, and refer them to the judiciary, in addition to cooperation between the state and the judiciary in order to establish justice, recover stolen funds, and hold the perpetrators accountable.
In this regard, former MP Bassem Al-Gharibawi told Al-Maalomah, “The coming days may witness the opening of new corruption cases that have not been previously investigated, especially since corruption exists in various governorates and state institutions.”
He added, “MPs in previous sessions took steps to open many cases, but these never materialized due to the lack of a political agreement to authorize their opening, as well as the government’s lack of will to address these issues.”
He pointed out that “there is a clear obstruction of the oversight role of the previous parliamentary session and subsequent sessions, despite the fact that corruption within the previous government reached significant levels that warranted investigation.” He noted that “the opening of corruption cases at this time is the result of a political agreement with the Prime Minister and clear cooperation between the judiciary and the government to pursue corrupt individuals.”
For his part, MP Mukhtar Al-Moussawi, representing Nineveh Governorate, confirmed to Al-Maalomah, “All governorates have cases, especially Nineveh, which has many cases that will be opened soon.” He explained that “the corruption cases in Nineveh relate to real estate in both the right and left banks of Mosul.”
He added that “there is exploitation of positions by some officials in order to achieve personal interests, which prompted the House of Representatives to form a specialized committee for the purpose of auditing the file of distributed lands, as well as those that are still occupied by some parties.”
He pointed out that “the governor, some members of parliament, and other figures are implicated in the land issue in Nineveh Governorate, as there is no area in the governorate free from corruption.” He indicated that “the parliament will scrutinize and investigate how land and coastal areas of the Tigris River, on both its right and left banks, were distributed.”
He continued, “The land issue in Nineveh is not a recent development; it began during the tenure of former governor Najm al-Jubouri. However, the file was not opened previously because the al-Sudani government was corrupt at all levels and prevented it.”
In a related matter, Yasser al-Husseini, a former member of the Parliamentary Committee on Economy and Investment, called on the Federal Integrity Commission to reopen and review the major corruption cases completed by parliamentary committees during the previous parliamentary session and referred to the commission without resolution.
Al-Husseini told the Al-Maalouma News Agency that “the Economic Committee and other oversight committees investigated numerous corruption cases and suspicions of financial waste involving ministries and government agencies during the fifth parliamentary session. However, budgetary considerations and political agreements at the time prevented the questioning of officials.” “Regarding it within the parliament building.”
He continued, “Those committees have officially referred the files to the Integrity Commission to complete the judicial investigations and bring charges against those responsible,” explaining that “these files contain conclusive documents concerning significant waste of public funds, particularly in the Ministries of Culture and Planning, and especially those related to the general population census contracts.”
