(1508), and will not be left of the current government, and the holding of the next parliamentary elections only (150) days, what is expected of the Prime Minister of these categories of stray and corrupt that stole the money of the Iraqi people, Who described them in his recent statements by saying that "the corrupt are those who brought terrorism into the country." He authorized ... Where is the battle for war on corruption? Where are the promises of the great revolution that will be held against the corrupt after the liberation of Iraq from criminal gangs represented by the terrorist "Da'ash"? , Where the application of the law and the imposition of sanctions and confrontations in the face of public money? Where are the prisons that will be filled with criminals who brought Iraq to what it is now of destruction and destruction? , Where is the difficult account of those who caused the hunger and deprivation of Iraqi families and the loss of billions of dollars from the treasury of the state? , Why they do not send these thieves to justice for their just punishment and the return of funds !

All these questions are posed to Prime Minister Dr. Haider Al-Abadi, who requires him to take a firm stand and a courageous decision to lift immunity immediately from the corrupt, especially the large whales, officials and senior employees who work in the legislative authority represented by the Iraqi parliament and in the executive authority represented by the Iraqi government and ministries, Including the ministers, ambassadors, agents, governors, directors-general and directors of the offices of the Inspector-General and others, for the purpose of initiating their trial, accountability and incarceration in prisons, like other criminals who have been released And to immediately face their cases to the fair Iraqi judiciary and apply the law to everyone without exception and to withdraw the stolen and smuggled money, whether inside Iraq or abroad .

Investment Advisor: Corruption and non-compliance with the criteria of referral produced failed projects

 Baghdad / Zahraa al-Jassim 
 

An adviser on investment issues that the lack of choice and corruption and the lack of commitment of many ministries and agencies standards of referrals in the system of government contracts and the transfer of most ministers contracts projects according to their own, causing us a disaster and ruin in all strategic projects in Iraq, but the government is going to address this radically, The government is going to account for those who fail in accomplishing the projects and changing all the workers in all the ministries, because it is a shame to remain silent on those who wasted our financial resources in projects that are fictitious, sluggish and failed.

The losses of Iraq, according to specialists 200 billion dollars due to the failure of projects, and corruption was the most important reasons that prevented the completion of thousands of projects and disabling in Iraq, since 2003 - until today, the fate of public money either theft or waste in projects not completed and the other stopped and fell to pass Many years have stopped, and there has been no talk even about the allocations spent by the state.
"What will be tackled by the government in the coming days of this year is the importance of managing the next strategic projects, and the ability of this administration to build Iraq and its infrastructure, especially since everyone knows how the mismanagement of these projects has affected," said Thaer al-Faily, an investment adviser. The projects on the level of services provided to the citizen, not to mention the poor quality of projects that missed the opportunity to build Iraq to improve the reality of service, pointing to the existence of several factors that led to Iraq to remain without service projects and infrastructure projects such as roads, hospitals or schools or stations, , Followed by: Yes corruption was behind this reality, but not only, but the ignorance and underdevelopment in the management of projects is already led to strong weaknesses, the state is now trying to avoid those mistakes.
The most important of these points is the poor studies of these projects, where the projects begin without studying the feasibility of real economic and technical or the feasibility of the infrastructure of these projects, and the other factor is poor designs and specifications, because most designs of our projects lagging back to the past years, And we see it in the construction of bridges backward and very bad. Because the presence of a number of contractors are paying money to the consulting offices in the state to design the bridge with poor specifications lagging, until the contractor comes to agree to achieve that bridge at the lowest price, but the third point is the lack of commitment of many ministries and bodies standards of referrals in the system of government contracts, As most of the ministers refer contracts to projects according to their wishes, because the process of authorizing the Minister to transfer contracts under $ 50 million was a disaster too large, and spread corruption in Iraq and prepared for him and fired into the air, and even protected the legal corruption, which must be changed.
"The fourth point is the poor selection of the contractor. The contractor should be considered and the best candidate who can manage the project in good terms should be the contractor who is technically and financially capable and able to deliver, but this was not previously in Iraq, Corruption and bribery, and although we know that there are a lot of contractors are not good, but they have expanded financially because of the ability of the Minister of Finance to refer giant projects to them, which produced us very weak contracts, most of which was not completed, and the construction of schools is the best evidence, M Lyon has 60% of the value of the completion of these schools, for the work of 90 schools, but only 11 schools have been completed, with more than 7 years on this project, and the amount of millions of millions and still the contractor, is not this bad selection and corruption and disaster should not Repeated.
The fifth point, the most important, is the poor engineering supervision, which is one of the most important citizens to produce a mature engineering project. The consultant must be competent and not corrupt, but the engineering supervision was the cause of the destruction and damage to the projects. A number of supervisors supervisors were writing imaginary completion and dozens of projects to take the contractor 40 or 50% of the value of the project as a completion, while not completed more than 2 or 3% of the project, stressing that all that was said led to sabotage all strategic projects of Iraq and this will not Is repeated again because the Government is going to address it radically.
On the other hand, economist Amer Jawahri said in an interview with "(to the extent), we are far from all the details, without the existence of a professional and efficient management of a genuine will for the benefit of the nation and cadres working in this direction, each solution comes to patch large cracks, Emphasis on the existence of priorities for the selection of projects in the light of the resources and feasibility studies of these projects based on the service and productivity provided and the strengthening of infrastructure and these priorities when linked to resources with an efficient and keen management then we will address the rest of the things, continuing: Phantom projects come through Existence of solid departments, and these important aspects, yes, if there is feasibility studies should be paramount but all previous projects prepared with feasibility studies and claimed then it is a solid, integrated, and here the problem is certainly not in the feasibility study, but in the project selection and priority and what will result from a real service to the country.
According to al-Jawahiri: "The accountability of all minors in this aspect is the solution. Today, the achievement is not the diagnosis, because it is a disgrace for those who passed through those projects, and shame on those who were silent when they knew that there were fake projects and others that were false. We call for the existence of accounting first and then start to prepare real projects, and it is necessary to change all the workers on projects in all ministries as long as we failed miserably and put us financial resources and stole the advance payments, as the streets and bridges, which completed the example of the failure of large and very large, today We must hold accountable those who carried out these projects, stressing: We We will not succeed in Iraq if we do not bring someone and put it in front of the television screens and say what you did and where your achievement and what is your shortcomings and how will be held accountable, we will change nothing, and we will remain in a vicious cycle without change or evolution.

Hard to arrest someone with a army, esp when that army is mixed with your own army and with an even bigger threat mixed in with your population with the Iranian militias. What a mess... Where does Maliki reside now? Is he still in the palace of light? He was told to leave it but I really never heard of him leaving it.

Public Prosecution: We recently received files of corruption related to a number of ministries

 

 Since 2018-01-04 at 12:38 (Baghdad time)

Baghdad Mawazine News

The head of the prosecution in Iraq, Mowaffaq al-Obeidi on Thursday, the arrival of files on issues of corruption and waste of public funds in ministries, indicating that this came after the uncles issued by the device to report on financial irregularities in all departments of the state.

"Recently, as soon as the Public Prosecution Law came into force, we issued a circular to all state institutions by informing us of the financial, administrative and functional irregularities," he said, quoting the judiciary, which is distributed by the Supreme Judicial Council and received by Mawazine News. The law has enabled us to play this role, and not only that, but the public prosecution is not satisfied with the notices received, but has different means, including what reaches or knock his reputation from here and there, and this is an innovative role we initiated it and in the coming period we will announce the most prominent achieved by Of the results. "

"We have received a series of files from some ministries, according to the uncles we issued at the end of last November, and after a month of these uncles, as the law of the new prosecution service added new roles and we have developed ambitious plans to implement these roles to achieve the goals For the sake of it, "noting that" the criticism directed at the prosecution lacks the legal knowledge of the nature and function of this device. "

The full text of the dialogue is as follows:

* The law of the Public Prosecutor's Office has recently been enacted, and on this subject we want to ask whether we are facing a law different from the previous one or is it advanced?

- The law does not read the subject differently or advanced; it is important that the law is commensurate with the needs imposed by the variables. The previous law, which regulates the work of the public prosecutor's office, began in 1979, no longer accommodates the developments in Iraqi life and judicial work. Yes there are articles that remain the same and others have changed. Was assigned to the Public Prosecution under the new Act No. 49 of 2017.

* What is the reason for enacting a new law?

- The reasons for the enactment of the law find the changes that took place after the issuance of the Public Prosecution Law No. (159) for the year 1979, and in order to keep pace with these changes and comply with the new legislations and to ensure good performance in the components of the federal judiciary.

[Asharq Al-Awsat] Before I ask about the details of this law, we know that the law raised controversy at the time of its enactment.

- Four appeals have already been submitted to the Federal Court, three of which have been withdrawn as far as I know and an appeal still pending under the jurisdiction of the Federal Supreme Court.

* What are the contested materials and who is the party that filed the appeal?

- The body is the Integrity Commission. The contested articles are paragraphs (12 and 13) of Article 5 of the law relating to the investigation by the Public Prosecution of financial and administrative corruption in the ministries and state bodies and the opening of public prosecution offices in these places for this matter, And this appeal is pending before the Constitutional Court.

Can we say that the Public Prosecutor's Office according to the new law is a different body or a new public prosecution?

- is different due to some new roles as well as that each law has a special spirit, which makes it different from the former.

What are the most prominent roles assigned to the prosecution?

It is important to understand that roles are not only determined by the added or new tasks. All that is related to the structure of the apparatus is part of the evolutionary context in which the focus should be placed. The Public Prosecutor's Office, under its new law, enjoys moral personality and financial and administrative independence, And the social life we live in. Therefore, the public prosecution is an inseparable part of the Iraqi judiciary, but finding a moral figure reinforces the idea of integration in judicial work.

What are the main new roles of the prosecution?

Article (5), which states: "Investigation of financial and administrative corruption crimes and all crimes that violate the duties of public office stipulated in the Penal Code No. (111) for the year (Amended) in accordance with the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law No. 23 of 1971 and its supplementary penal laws, provided that the case is referred within 24 hours from the date of the arrest of the accused to the examining magistrate ", and the other article" Administrative, financial and financial issues General shall be run by a public prosecutor who shall not be less than 15 years old who shall supervise the financial and administrative public prosecution offices in the State Departments. "

* Is there anything else that can be considered new or advanced roles?

- There is something related to the role of the prosecutor in the reform departments in the supervision, supervision and follow-up, although this role is not updated, but in the new text advanced.

 

[Asharq Al-Awsat] Why do you question the integrity of these two paragraphs and this role of the prosecutor?

This question should be addressed to the Integrity Commission because it is the appellant, but in my opinion, there is no contradiction in the roles. The Commission works in conjunction with the judges of investigation, delinquency and crimes of integrity. This indicates that no conflict will occur if the prosecution is part of this work. Participation between the Commission and the judiciary has been inevitable.

[Asharq Al-Awsat] Do you think that prosecutors have the capabilities and tools that make them more advanced in this role?

The prosecutor is a judge, and the law speaks of a prosecutor for at least ten years, in the sense of scientific and practical ability, as well as the distinguished experience created by the judicial work, and we can say that the Iraqi judiciary is one of the most advanced organs in the Arab world. All the other reasons make me say categorically that the prosecution has the capabilities to make it ahead of this role, and the legislator did well when entrusted to the prosecution of the task.

* The task entrusted to you under these two paragraphs, you need human resources and logistics is not easy, how will you deal with this subject?

- This matter is linked to the first two contexts. Let us see what the Federal Court has decided on the appeal that we have talked about. There is something else related to a particular legislation that has not yet been decided. The Supreme Judicial Council and the Public Prosecutor's Office have a clear vision for this issue at the cadres and labor levels.

* Whatever this scenario or plans, but this role requires a large number of prosecutors, who have not less than 10 years experience, and this, according to my knowledge is not possible?

- but possible, but according to the plans we have developed and alternative plans and flexibility of perceptions that allow us to address any delay occurs in the application of these plans.

* Recently voted the House of Representatives on your assumption of the presidency of the prosecution, do you consider the first elected president of this body after the change in 2003?

- Yes, this is the first time that the House of Representatives votes on the head of the prosecution and in accordance with the constitutional context.

* How the distribution of senior positions in the judiciary how to do?

This is an important question. In the beginning, the nomination is made by voting on the candidate within the Supreme Judicial Council. This council is known to consist of its president, the vice president of the Federal Court of Cassation, the head of the public prosecution apparatus, the head of the judicial supervision authority and the heads of the appellate districts. For the candidate of the head of the public prosecution apparatus as well as the head of the judicial supervisory authority. In addition to this mechanism, we are talking about criteria that have nothing to do with any professional motivation, and you can point to criteria in other authorities. But let us be clear. Religious positions.

* Criticized by journalists, public opinion and even some politicians of the prosecution, let's start by talking about this subject from the question of: What is the prosecution service What role What are its functions?

First of all, it is necessary to know that the Public Prosecutor's Office is a "supervisory" body. Its nature is to monitor the judicial work from the investigation stage to the crimes. It can examine the positions and supervise the details, for example, related to nutrition and other needs. He is aware of the decisions of the judges and has the right to challenge them if he is not convinced of them and to monitor the release. He also has a role in the discriminatory appeals by way of expressing opinions on the death and life sentences as well as juvenile verdicts.

* There is a comparison between your role and the roles of the counterparties to you as the prosecutor's office in the Republic of Egypt and France, and we find a great role for the prosecution of the prosecution service in Iraq?

- Let me start by saying that prosecutors are not the equivalent of the prosecution service in Iraq. This is something that should be well understood. Prosecutors in Egypt or in some other countries are very different from our public prosecution. A member of the Public Prosecution, for example in Egypt, has the powers of the examining magistrate, who conducts the investigation and then refers it to the examining magistrate, who is referred to as the "referral judge," and thus the powers of the prosecutor is greater than that of the public prosecutor. His role means that he is better or more serious than the prosecutor in Iraq, and I know well and because of the Egyptian media that this idea is one of the reasons for misunderstanding the role of the prosecution in Iraq.

[Asharq Al-Awsat] Does this answer mean that you are criticizing the public prosecution?

- I want critics and others to understand the role of the public prosecution that the Constitution and the laws, and I am not going to delve into the subject of the existence of default or not, but I am familiar with most of these criticisms are at most part of the lack of knowledge of the function of the prosecution. I want everyone to know that the public prosecutor is not the owner of a decision but an observer and has the right to express opinion at specific stages and judicial levels.

Is the public prosecution a judicial stage, or is it a semi-independent entity that moves on more than one level?

- He works with different courts in parallel and integrates with them for one goal.

Q: What is the size of the initiative in the files that constitute the priorities of the prosecution?

- Once again I repeat that any action that may seem necessary should come within the context of the powers and functions defined by law. Recently, once the law came into effect, we issued a circular to all state institutions by informing us of the financial, administrative and functional irregularities, Not only that, but the public prosecution is not satisfied with the notices it receives, but has different means, including what reaches or knock his reputation from here and there, and this is an innovative role we initiated and in the coming period we will announce the most prominent results achieved.

* These uncles, which you directed to the ministries and bodies have been dealt with?

- Yes, but not as expected, but recently we have been receiving a collection of files from some ministries, and you know that the uncles that we issued late last November was dedicated to the financial and functional resources and after a month of these uncles began to receive some files as I said some Ministries.

* Issues that constitute the most prominent crises in Iraq are complex and difficult, such as terrorism, corruption and some types of crime, does the public prosecution keep up with his work and tools this difficulty and complexity?

- I agree with you about the complexities of the most prominent problems experienced by the Iraqi people, but the nature of judicial work has its perceptions and experiences as well as strategies that make this complex face is not easy, and there is a common idea that each issue circumstances and contexts and work experience allows us to say that we have We will overcome these difficulties, and emphasizes the work and developments necessitates increased learning, development and use.

* It is always said that we have a problem in the investigative stage, and always be unable to Scout and investigative to bring evidence capable of judge, how to overcome this?

The issue is not a failure or a failure, but there was a lack of awareness of the role of citizens, not many people are reporting corrupt and corrupt so many issues are stalled, but at the moment there is good progress on this side, and I call on all Iraqis contribute courageously to the news From the state of corruption whatever it is in order to achieve a real confrontation as everyone wishes against corruption and corrupt 

[Asharq Al-Awsat] Independent institutions and entities in the Iraqi state are affected by political interference.

- No one in Iraq or in any other country can deny that there are efforts for politicians to influence judicial decisions, but it is up to the judiciary. This work is one of the greatest tasks and responsibilities. It is a great secretariat. We are entrusted with it. Is our sacred address.

 

[Asharq Al-Awsat] I want to know from your sovereignty that you are the president of one of the largest institutions of justice in Iraq, the relationship between the institutions of the Supreme Judicial Council?

In addition to voting on a law, the President of the Supreme Judicial Council, the heads of the Public Prosecution and the Judicial Supervisory Authority, it also voted on most of the heads of the appellate districts. This, of course, constitutes progress to promote the constitutional principles of the Supreme Court Between the authorities and the independence of the judiciary and work to develop mechanisms that achieve the implementation of the laws in force, and all this meeting achieves and enhances the complementary relationship between the judicial institutions.

* Judicial institutions except the Federal Supreme Court Are they part of all, and what have they related to the Federal Court after the recent changes?

- Yes, it is an integral part, but the Federal Supreme Court is part of the title of the judiciary but it is competent in constitutional issues and has nothing to do with the Supreme Council of the Judiciary.

The Euphrates -

 

A member of the Najaf provincial council confirmed the existence of 7,000 pieces of land belonging to the state sold with forged documents in the province, pointing to the involvement of large and influential figures in this file.

Electricity of Iraq .. Of the 88 files of corruption discovered after the death of Ahmed Chalabi

 

 January 08, 2018 - 8:56 | Number of readings:   

 

 

 

Sumer News: Frequent power failure comes at the top of the complaints of Iraqis, which led to the exit of several demonstrations in various provinces accused the government and the electricity sector of corruption and called for solutions

 

For more than 14 years, Iraqis have been suffering from an electricity crisis, one of the most significant crises in the country since the US invasion in 2003, which they have not been able to overcome, although some $ 41 billion has been spent on the sector, Official.

 

This sector is one of the most corrupt, according to the files of corruption revealed by Iraqi politicians, earlier .

 

The electricity file comes from 88 corruption files backed by evidence and documents, discovered after the death of the Iraqi politician and Chairman of the Finance Committee in the House of Representatives, Ahmad Chalabi.

 

Chalabi died in November 2015 in a controversial manner following a heart attack following his announcement of important documents condemning senior officials of corruption.

 

People close to him questioned the cause of the death and said he died of poison, according to local media.

 

Several electricity scandals surfaced on the surface, including the contract of the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity with British power company Engens to implement a power plant in the southern city of Nasiriyah and the importation of giant generation turbines that, upon arrival at the port of Basra, show that they were playing children. The deal was worth $ 21 million, while it was later revealed that the British company was fake and the Iraqi government was deceived at the time.

 

And the electricity crisis forced the Iraqis to rely on the provision of energy through generators (private) placed in the alleys and distributed to houses and shops in exchange for a replacement. National electricity is cut off for some periods of the year for 15 hours.

 

These generators have been deployed since 2004, while the Ministry of Electricity provides subsidized fuel. But it does not meet the needs, as it is subject to continuous failures and can not provide electricity around the clock, or at all hours when the national electricity supply is cut off.

 

It should be noted that this alternative step was not removed from theft, as the Ministry of Electricity revealed earlier, the loss of 70 percent of the subsidized fuel allocated to 30 thousand generators and sold on the black market, and behind it officials in the state.

 

Bulk complaints and cooperation is missing

 

"I pay 125,000 Iraqi dinars (about 105 US dollars) a month as a contribution to the civil generator, but I only get 15 hours of electricity a day," Omar Hamed said. "Generators' problems are not ending," said Maram Abdel Rahim, a school teacher. "The owners of the generators suspend their operation for hours, and are constantly protesting either by malfunctioning their generators or by the Ministry of Electricity's delay in supplying them with fuel or the high temperature of the air that affects the generator.

 

But they are actually benefiting from subsidized fuel by selling it on the black market. "

 

"I am willing to pay twice as much as the allowance I have to generators in exchange for stable electricity," Hadi al-Hayali said, adding that children, as well as older people, suffer from high temperatures in the summer and a drop in winter. The current of civil birth for various reasons, and the situation is no longer intolerable. "

 

 In the context, the Ministry of Electricity, after faced with great popular pressure, contracting with companies to privatize the distribution of electricity and the collection of funds.

 

Its spokesman, Musab al-Mudar, said earlier that tariffs under this new mechanism would be "subsidized by the government at 94 percent."

 

He explained that "the purpose of these contracts is to urge the citizen to pay wages, and make it deals with one party represented by the investor, which represents the Ministry of all its controls and laws."

 

The Ministry of Electricity suffers from the lack of cooperation of citizens in general in the payment of monthly electricity charges owed by most families, in addition to tens of thousands of newly built housing units exceeded the assets of the building, given the circumstances of the country and the displacement and migration.

 

And the excesses of housing units also covered electricity transmission lines. The teacher explained that the project "will push citizens to rationalize consumption, which will reflect positively on the hours of the processing of electric power," pointing out that "the power available to the Ministry currently enough citizens in the case of rational consumption."

 

Is privatization the solution?

 

The Ministry of Electricity began experimenting with the privatization of the distribution and collection sector in January 2016 in Zayouna district, east of Baghdad.

 

"The ministry started to implement the privatization project of the distribution sector to get rid of corruption and ensure equitable distribution between the regions and the stability of the electrical system," and then "divided the areas of Iraq to 180 areas."

 

But privatization in the southern provinces of Iraq is seen by most Iraqi citizens as an enemy. There have been demonstrations threatening to prevent their implementation in their provinces by force, and spread videos on the social networking sites of tribal sheikhs threaten local officials and warn them to implement the project in their areas.

 

"All tribal sheikhs rejected the privatization project, and I was one of them," said tribal sheikh Abbas al-Shammari, a member of the tribal elders' council in Dhi Qar province, south of Baghdad. "We have engineers, No more, and it will impose on the citizen huge sums. But Shammari pointed out that "after I was closely acquainted with the project through people concerned, I saw the best project submitted by the government, and confirmed that those who were and still incite tribal elders and people in the southern provinces, their political goal and personal benefits at the expense of the citizen."

 

Abdullah al-Saidi, a journalist from Basra province, south of Baghdad, said that "the anger of many people in Basra and the people of the southern provinces was driven by political parties."

 

"I was present at a number of press conferences and meetings that brought together politicians, tribal elders and dignitaries in southern provinces. It was clear that senior politicians, most notably former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, were behind the protests that reject the privatization of electricity."

 

Al-Saidi restores the position of these politicians to two reasons: "First, their use of fictitious projects for electricity and electricity processing and transfer contracts controlled by them will all end if the privatization project is implemented. Themselves defeated, in return for the rise of supporters of Prime Minister Haider Abadi rival. "

 

In a press conference held on November 28, Abadi said that the parties that raise public opinion against the privatization of electricity are mafias that receive hundreds of billions, benefiting from the civil generators at the expense of the citizen. He called for raising the awareness of Iraqi citizens that privatization Serve his interest, especially if he is from the poor and middle classes.

 

Al-Abbadi also pointed out that "Iraqi governments have stopped billions of dollars previously on electricity has not solved the dilemma, and the citizen continues to pay for generators civil."

 

Abadi said that the privatization will activate the "draft tax for the benefit of citizens to stop waste."

The Integrity Committee: 3 governors cooperated with a preacher to cover up their corruption

Translated by Hamid Ahmed 
 

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Corruption has enabled an outspoken takeover of power in Iraq in June 2014, officials and deputies said, stressing that Iraq's security and political stability would remain threatened by corrupt officials.

In turn, the Parliamentary Integrity Commission confirmed that the estimated value of the amounts stolen during the past 12 years in Iraq was estimated at more than 200 billion dollars. 
The officials, speaking to the Arab News website, said Iraq's security and political stability would remain threatened as long as corrupt officials continued to control the country's imports. 
Nearly one-third of Iraq's territory fell into the hands of a hawkish organization in June 2014 after a sudden collapse of Iraqi army units. 
Officials point to the role of financial and administrative corruption in the event that undermined the security establishment at the time.
The parliamentary security and defense committee conducted an eight-month investigation into the crash, which announced in August 2015 that financial and administrative corruption played a major role in widening the gap between the local population of Mosul and the security services in charge of securing it. 
The report said former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki had issued a list of people responsible for the fall of Mosul, where he was responsible for "appointing incompetent leaders. Moreover, the general atmosphere lacked the principle of holding corrupt security officials accountable." 
In November, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi formed an anti-corruption campaign. "It was the corrupt officials who took the public money who caused these disasters," Abadi said in a tweet last week. "He urged the occupation of these cities because of this corruption only."
"Before the appearance of a da'ash, there was ample evidence that the governor of Mosul, Salah al-Din and Anbar, who fell into the hands of an advocate, were involved in a lot of state money thefts," said Talal al-Zobaie, head of the parliamentary integrity committee. 
"The armed groups emerged as a result of this corruption, which sought to undermine the authority of the state and cover the thefts of the conservatives as it was intended to inspire others that a supporter is responsible for the real fall of those cities." Adding that "corruption provided cover for armed groups at a time of chaos, that is, it provided a cover for corrupt officials." 
Musa Faraj, the former head of the Integrity Commission, which was founded in 2004 to fight corruption, agrees with Abbadi and Zobaie.
"The relationship between corrupt officials and terrorism is a direct and undeniable relationship," Faraj said, "Corruption is aimed at gaining power, not just for money or wealth," he said, adding: "The acquisition of power requires headquarters, weapons, cars, militias, television stations and thousands of subordinates. Because of that, all Iraqi political parties have been involved in corruption since 2003. "

Amazing how that happens, time and time again. Should rename these the (Lack of) Integrity Commission and the (in)competent judicial. Then they rely on someone else (Interpol) to round these thieves up. It's the Iraq way. Pathetic.

Jawad does not absolve "most government employees from various state institutions working in those ports involved with them, despite many complicated procedures to try to reduce corruption there."
