member of the Parliamentary Integrity Committee, Jawad Hamdan, confirmed that his committee follows up on several corruption files related to the various ministries, as well as other files on licensing rounds, certifying bills, oil contracts and renewing mobile phone licenses.
Hamdan said, “There are many corruption files referred by the committee to the Public Prosecution and Prosecution Authority, and so far no action has been taken on them, including files related to the ministries of industry, oil, tourism and antiquities.”
He added, “On a personal level, since the beginning of his work in the Parliamentary Integrity Committee until now – the Integrity Commission has approximately 15 files on corruption cases, in addition to three files related to the Ministry of Transport,” noting that “the Parliamentary Committee has many old corruption files From previous sessions, many of the files are the work of deputies in person, and there are files for the committee in general, which it adopted and formed sub-committees to follow up on.
And he added, “Among the corruption files that the Integrity Committee sub-committees follow are: corruption files in licensing rounds, certification of oil invoices and contracts, and the Petroleum Projects Company, and others at the level of ministries, such as the Ministry of Transport and Electricity, and in border crossings, in addition to corruption files in the Ministry of Defense, renewal of licenses For the mobile phone, the Integrity Committee had an important role and opinion on these files, and I sent official books of them to the Prime Minister. ”
He pointed out that “the size of the accumulated corruption files in the Parliamentary Integrity Committee is not commensurate with the ability of the committee to open all these files, because corruption is not stopping at this session in order to reopen the files that were identified by the committee in previous sessions.”
Representative Hamdan called for the conversion of the “Parliamentary Integrity Committee into a department of the House of Representatives through its cadres and departments to follow up files in the governmental and ministerial sectors.”
The member of the committee stressed “the necessity of developing plans for this committee that would be the true eye of the state at the level of all ministries, with the presence of specialized cadres of employees of those ministries, including law, accountants and auditors, and by providing these procedures, the Integrity Committee will be able to play its true role correctly.” End 29 / A
