They should do our officials like this. Maybe they would finalky get something done.

(IraqiNews.com) On Wednesday, the Parliament House representative Niyazi Oghlu announced, that an amount of 50,000 dinar will be deducted from the salary of MP per every session they would not attend, and that there are 14 members who hadn’t shown up and might be soon replaced.

Oghlu has stated for IraqiNews that, “Parliament has decided to deduct an amount of 50,000 dinar from the salary of MP per every session they would miss, adding that there are 14 members of Parliament who hadn’t shown up yet and did not swear the oath, and they might be replaced after a period of time that has been given to them.

That's a great rule, if they don't want to participate kick them out and get someone who wants to be apart of the new Iraq Gov.

Our politicians could learn some things from Abadi.

should be more than that--43.00 is not a lot to some of them--should be at least 1,000 to hit home---if the dinar goes up in value bet they all show up at ever meeting--jmop

Ouch...that's like...$50. I'm sure their heads are spinning. But wait. TNT Tony says it already did an "in country RV " last December about this time at $11 USD to 1 IQD so that's like $550,000. Im so confused. Tony....DC....help me !!

If they made it retroactive for 5 years I bet it would get their attention.
