For fear of protesters storming Parliament Al-Halbousi prevents questioning the Minister of FinanceToday, Wednesday, a well-informed political source revealed that Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi prevented the questioning of Finance Minister Ali Allawi, for fear that the minister would reveal dangerous files and documents.

The source said, “The Minister of Finance, Ali Allawi, requested that his questioning be conducted in the Iraqi parliament remotely and from outside Iraq, and that the session be public and broadcast on the air, because he intends to present dangerous documents and evidence that will make the demonstrators storm Parliament, because of the files and evidence of major corruption cases.”

And he indicated that “this matter prompted Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi to withdraw from the questioning of Allawi, despite the appointment of the interrogation session, and al-Halbousi is currently working to push the fireball against him and in secret he is pushing deputies from Shiite political blocs to confront the Minister of Finance.”
