MP Duha Laibi Al-Bahadli made a surprise announcement today, Sunday, regarding the possibility of introducing a new package to lift the immunity of MPs facing serious accusations related to corruption cases, indicating that the upcoming session may witness the approval of strict legal measures against the accused in preparation for bringing them to justice.
Al-Bahadli told Al-Maalomah that “Parliament will dedicate a key part of tomorrow’s session, Monday, to discussing the recent government measures related to suspicions of corruption, in parallel with the scheduled agenda.”
She added that “there is a decisive parliamentary trend to support the escalating government movement to combat corruption and the waste of public funds,” stressing that “the next stage may witness taking measures against prominent figures accused of involvement in corruption cases, within the framework of expanding the prosecution campaign and not excluding any party whose involvement is proven.”
Al-Bahadli blocked “any attempts to circumvent the law,” stressing “the absolute parliamentary rejection of concluding any (political settlements) with the big players involved in corruption deals,” while emphasizing that “the principle of accountability will be applied seriously, away from partisan interventions or pressures.”
The MP revealed the “features of the upcoming government plan,” stressing that “the ‘Dawn Charge’ campaign is on its way, and the second phase of the campaign is about to begin, and it is expected to include a new list of prominent names accused of plundering national wealth.”
Al-Bahadli concluded her remarks by emphasizing “the necessity of targeting the major figures of corruption and not merely pursuing low-level employees,” considering that “including influential figures is the only guarantee for restoring the Iraqi public’s trust in government procedures and proving the state’s seriousness in its crucial battle to recover stolen funds.”
