In the heart of power, where decisions are made away from oversight and accountability, corrupt money infiltrates through dark corridors run from the heart of the Prime Minister’s Office. At a time when Iraqi governorates are suffering from deteriorating services and collapsing infrastructure, informed sources have revealed the involvement of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani’s office in financial and administrative corruption cases related to large contracts, suspicious tenders, and the systematic acquisition of reconstruction projects, amid official silence and deliberate disregard by oversight bodies.
The sources said, according to documents and information obtained by oversight bodies, that influential figures within al-Sudani’s office directly intervened in awarding tenders for exorbitant sums to close companies, without genuine competition or adherence to legal standards. Some of these companies were recently established and lacked technical expertise, yet they obtained contracts worth hundreds of billions of dinars, including massive infrastructure projects in the southern and central governorates.
The sources confirmed that “among the most prominent corruption files is the bridge rehabilitation project in Iraq’s governorates, which witnessed an inflation in the implementation cost of more than 300% of the actual cost, according to reports from technical experts. Some of these bridges were completed to poor specifications and collapsed a few months after their opening, without any party being held accountable.
They pointed out that despite the government’s announcement of the release of huge sums for the reconstruction of the governorates, the reality on the ground shows a real absence of completed projects. Meanwhile, employees in the Board of Supreme Audit revealed that most of these funds were directed through non-transparent channels, amid a clear absence of financial and oversight mechanisms, which raises suspicions about the benefit of figures close to decision-making centers, including employees in Al-Sudani’s own office. What is dangerous
about the matter, according to informed sources within the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers, is that Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani has been aware of these violations for several months, but has not taken real measures to curb this financial hemorrhage, which raises questions about the extent of his direct involvement or his involvement in protecting those involved.
In light of these leaks, voices are rising Some of these are within the Iraqi parliament and others among the public, calling for an immediate and independent investigation and for those involved to be brought to justice, regardless of their positions. There are fears that these cases could lead to a political and security crisis if they continue to be ignored.
