Shafaq News/ Independent MP Hamid Al-Shiblawi confirmed on Wednesday that political interference is obstructing the interrogation of ministers of Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani’s government in Parliament.
Al-Shablawi told Shafaq News Agency, “Political interference has greatly affected the interrogation of ministers in the House of Representatives, as many interrogation requests were submitted to the Parliament Presidency without taking action on them.”
Al-Shablawi added, “Previously, the security forces were the first line of defense, and the medical staff were the second line of defense during the Corona pandemic, but today the third line has become the political blocs and parties that obstruct the questioning of ministers inside the parliament.”
He explained that “any MP who seeks to question a minister in the government finds the bloc or party supporting that minister standing in the way of this questioning and threatening in return to question the minister supported by the MP or his political bloc.”
Al-Shablawi stressed that “the file of questioning ministers is actually suspended in parliament due to pressure from political parties and blocs, which prevents any actual accountability of ministers in the current government.”
