The Parliamentary Services Committee revealed, on Thursday, that the Iraqi government renewed the contract of communication companies for eight years with a very small amount, indicating that the renewal amount is equal to the companies ’profits for 3 months.
Member of the Committee, MP Alaa Al-Rubaie, said, “The Al-Kazemi government signed the renewal of the communication companies’ contracts for a period of eight years, amounting to $ 233 million, at a time when the companies did not pay their old debts. ”
He added that “the total profits achieved by companies in Iraq during the first half of 2020 is greater than the amount of the contract for a period of 8 years.”
Al-Rubaie explained, “The contract amount is equal to the companies’ profits for three months, to the advertiser only, and perhaps the profits are much greater. ”He called for reviewing these contracts and checking them significantly.
