The other face of financial corruption in Iraq

Books / Anis Al-Ansari ...

The financial corruption in Iraq has many different aspects that have been found by the politicians and the new officials in order to get the greatest amount of money that achieves them living luxuries at the expense of the suffering of the Iraqi people. Some of these aspects are surrounded by a kind of false legitimacy so that their owners are not held accountable and accountable. If we collect the money that is wasted annually on this road, we find it very large, not less than the size of other thefts. It is undoubtedly a great disregard for public money and the rights of the Iraqi people, and examples of this are many and do not need any interpretation or justification .... Some of them are outlined:

First: Do Iraqis know that the pension of Mr. Ghazi Ajil al-Yawar, who assumed the presidency of the Republic of Iraq for a very short period and temporarily by Bremer and the pension of his third wife, Nasreen Berwari, who held a ministerial position of more than six hundred million dinars annually. This amount is delivered to them in England unconditionally?

Second: The fictional financial privileges enjoyed by the President of the Republic and his deputies, the Prime Minister and the Speaker of the House of Representatives have reached the limit that can not be tolerated. In addition to the large number of protections, luxury cars and other privileges. They are not convinced of all this, but have found opportunities to appoint their relatives in positions in order to increase their share of the financial privileges, and this applies to the daughter of the President of the Republic, Ms. Joan Fouad Masoum, who works as a consultant and a salary of up to ten million dinars per month. This is also the case with the nephew of Saleh al-Mutlaq, who holds a senior position in the Ministry of Health (Environment) and the environmentalists are well aware of the extent of corruption that surrounds this person.

Third: Iraqis should imagine how much wasted money is allocated as a huge pension to members of the House of Representatives after the end of each parliamentary session. If we look at it in a simple mathematical way, we would find it if it continues for years to come. A large part of Iraq's budget will be reserved for their unpaid pensions. Because each parliamentary session includes approximately 275 deputies over a four-year period, and the numbers are increasing one after the other. Then what is the moral justification for granting a pension to someone who has not worked for more than four years? Is this the justice of failed politicians?

Fourthly, when he came to join the new political process to ensure that they had a special interest in this lucrative trade, the general public was announced to include the largest number of their relatives in order to obtain the many benefits, including the distribution of residential plots to them in excellent areas in the capital or in the provinces Especially in the era of Mr. Nouri al-Maliki), and if we checked in this particular courageous examination, we find that some of the names of the Nerberh obtained plots of land in the most expensive areas simply because they are calculated on the so and so even if the service did not exceed a few months.

Fifth: The huge number of advisers for the top three positions cost the Iraqi budget figures are not insignificant, knowing that no country in the world has this large number of advisers. But the ugly quota and the dominance of the parties impose such a situation.

Sixth: The existence of a large number of factories paralyzed paralyzed since 2003 and so far with the survival of cadres without work, represents in the logic of the accounts of real corruption convincing as the recipients of their salaries and wages do not provide the country any useful service.

Seventh: sending some of the staff outside of Iraq for purposes that are not real and logical, but to give some of them good opportunities for travel and financial benefit. This is often done according to special choices controlled by partisan loyalties and the degree of closeness of officials. Thus, this subject affects even a certain percentage to increase the waste of public money.

Abadi soon to transfer the files of 50 officials of integrity .. close to him: will not resign from the invitation

 

 

Sources close to the Prime Minister's Office said Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi was referring 50 senior officials to the Integrity Commission to investigate corruption and mismanagement, including ministers and undersecretaries, but observers of the situation in Iraq played down his ability to hold corrupt officials accountable.

The head of the Center for Political Thought, Ihsan al-Shammari, a close associate of the Iraqi prime minister, told Asharq Al-Awsat that the planned measures "may take longer because of the nature of the files being uploaded and the required checks and inspections." Shammari stressed that «the officials referred to (integrity) ranging positions between ministers and deputy ministers and directors general in the various institutions of the state».

Abadi said in a press conference yesterday: "We have a basic campaign against corruption and the prosecution of corrupt, and soon we will publish what we have done in this regard, and was referred to the (integrity) and the people sentenced," they returned that «the apparent corruption needs convincing evidence And unequivocal evidence, the judiciary is not satisfied with the words of the Prime Minister; it needs conclusive evidence on the ground ». He also referred to «the formation of committees to review all the work of officials, although there is a delay or corruption of a certain official, we will take strong measures against him».

In addition to lifting the files of corruption to the Integrity Commission, Iraqi political circles are currently talking about Abadi's intention to stop officials from working and withdraw their hands from the departments and ministries they manage, as he did with the Minister of Electricity Qasim Fahdawi. Local news agencies and agencies circulated yesterday the decision to withdraw the hand of Sami Sami, budget officer at the Ministry of Finance, but the latter denied this.

Local observers view Abadi's actions in recent days as actions under the influence of public pressure expressed by demonstrations and sit-ins in the central and southern governorates, as well as an attempt by Abadi to appear resolute and capable of running the state and fighting corrupt people. Representative of the religious authority in Najaf.

On the other hand, the newspaper itself reported on the formation of the new Iraqi government and the conditions of the leader of the Sadrist movement, which was developed recently.

Sadr put about 30 conditions for the formation of the government, and 40 for the president, most notably the lack of dual nationality, which implies the exclusion of the current prime minister, and the most powerful candidates Haider Abadi, who holds British citizenship. Sadr stipulated that the head of government be outside the House of Representatives, and is fluent in more than one language, and is not subject to foreign pressure. To be good and not corrupt, and to end the interference of the party in the government and its institutions.

While Abadi appeared to be prepared to freeze his membership in the Dawa party and not to concede it, the head of Sadr's political bureau, Dr. Diaa al-Asadi, once again outlined the government's features advocated by Moqtada al-Sadr.

On the possibility of conditional waiver by Abadi towards his membership in the Dawa Party, the leader of the Dawa Party Ali al-Alaq said that "Abadi will not resign from the Islamic Dawa Party because it is history, ideology and ideology, but it is possible to freeze his membership in the party, Special grades and others in the next government completely independent ».

He added that «Muqtada al-Sadr has the right to put forward his vision in terms of the choice of the prime minister, a view of dialogue», indicating that «Abbadi candidate victory for prime minister and not a candidate for the Dawa Party». He pointed out that the relations «Ebadi talks and the Kurdistan Regional Government President Nechirvan Barzani did not touch on alliances, but there was dialogue and understandings on the formation of the largest bloc, and who says that Kirkuk will be a price for the second term of Abbadi is exaggerated». "There are no deals under the table or over the Constitution and the law, and the time of political deals is over because of the pressure of the street and our principles in the victory."

When I read the post and the name at the top of the list was Maliki, I was not surprised.  Lets see where this goes.

For the life of me, I cannot understand why anyone would see their fellow countrymen suffer in poverty while hoarding $50 Billion (Maliki) and $48 Billion (Barzani) for themselves.

Whatever can a person buy with such unbelievable wealth, that they couldn't buy with several hundred million?  Why is it necessary to have $50 Billion?  They've got to be the greediest people on earth.  I'm sure there is a special place in hell waiting for them.

Comprehend the Corruption Perception Index CPI to introduce meaningful Anti-Corruption Reforms

 

The United Nations Development Program UNDP, in partnership with the Iraqi Commission of Integrity, organized a workshop designed to discuss and provide an understanding on the data and methodologies used to rank countries on the Corruption Perception Index (CPI).

The Workshop organized jointly with the Transparency International (TI), and hosted by the Iraqi Anti-Corruption Academy bringing together for the first-time government officials with civil society representatives to meaningfully discuss the factors influencing the corruption perception in the public sector.

The Regional advisor for Arab States in Transparency International Ms. Kinda Hattar facilitated the very interactive discussion among the participants who acquired in-depth knowledge on the source of information, and the global surveys that feed into the CPI.

Moreover, the discussion led to recognize the institutional changes and reforms needed to introduce impactful results on combating and preventing corruption.

The workshop is a significant milestone towards building a partnership between the UNDP, TI, Iraqi Government and stakeholders to reinforce the government’s efforts in fighting corruption.

This workshop was followed by several high-level meetings with government officials to discuss practical action plans to sensitize relevant public institutions and civil society to fight corruption.

UNDP through its FFER-Federal Project has already deployed high-caliber international experts to support Anti-Corruption activities and to build the capacity of relevant government entities engaged in fighting corruption.

BAGHDAD - Iraq today: 

Former member of the House of Representatives, Jassem al-Bayati, revealed a list of spoilers presented by Prime Minister Haider Abadi to the Iraqi judiciary for accounting. 

"The list includes about 73 names, including influential political figures and high-ranking officials, owners of companies and personalities working in the Iraqi state," said al-Bayati, a close to the prime minister, noting that "the list includes only those accused of smuggling money out of the country." 

He added that "the list was not put forward before the parliamentary elections held on May 12, so as not to be considered by some as electoral propaganda." 

He stressed that "the prime minister emphasizes the status of the list on the table and the accountability of the defaulters by the judiciary," noting that it "will include all those who have large sums of money outside Iraq, obtained illegally, both the faults of the former regime or the current politicians."
