Yasser Al-Husseini, the former Vice Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Economy, Industry and Trade, revealed on Monday suspicions of massive financial and strategic waste in joint operating contracts in the Ministry of Industry and Minerals, describing them as “contracts of submission” that aimed to control the wealth of future generations.
Al-Husseini told Al-Maalouma that “observations and doubts surround the joint operating contracts within the corridors of the Ministry of Industry, specifically those related to the General Company for Al-Mishraq Sulfur and the General Company for Phosphates.”
He added that “the legal and investment formula in which these agreements were concluded falls under the name of (contracts of adhesion), as it lacks contractual balance and is unfair to the Iraqi state,” stressing that it “represents a blatant waste not only of national funds and technical capabilities, but also of the strategic reserve of mineral wealth, which represents sovereign property and the future of coming generations.”
Al-Husseini pointed the finger directly at “the era in which the former Minister of Industry in the Sudanese government, Khalid Battal (a leader in the Progress Party), took office,” noting that “production lines and vital sites in Anbar Governorate were granted to influential parties who were able to seize these projects completely, in addition to seizing the strategic stock of these minerals.”
He explained, detailing with figures, that “the value of some of the granted production lines amounts to tens of billions, and is estimated at about 70 billion Iraqi dinars, not to mention the geographical sites and facilities attached to them, whose market value is estimated at hundreds of billions.”
Al-Husseini also pointed to the “danger of the (contract addenda) that the Sudanese government concluded later to amend or extend the agreements,” describing them as “much more dangerous than the original contracts themselves, because of the legal loopholes and additional concessions they contain that may shackle the Iraqi state for many years and prevent it from recovering its investment rights.”
These statements, supported by figures and names, increase public and oversight pressure on the industrial investment sector in Iraq, amid calls for a comprehensive investigation to reassess all contracts signed in the mining sector, to ensure that the country’s underground resources are not exploited for narrow political or commercial gain.
