Parliamentary blocs likely to postpone the formation of the government to the next legislative term

BAGHDAD / Massila: Likely blocks in the Iraqi parliament to postpone the file completes the government of Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi, to the next legislative term because of the lack of agreement on the names of candidates to the vacant portfolios.

The parliament had failed in previous sessions of achieving the quorum of the law to vote on the candidate of the construction block led by Hadi al-Amiri, to the portfolio of Interior Faleh al-Fayad after the objection of the block to go on, in addition to the failure of Sunni blocs on their candidate to defend the Kurdish justice portfolio. 

"The political forces have not reached any solutions and results on the candidates to the three vacant portfolios," said MP Sanaa al-Moussawi, a construction member. She pointed out that "this file caused the disruption of many of the meetings of the parliament, despite his concern now to draft a draft budget law."

She stressed that "will be the file of supplement cabinet cabins with the start of the next legislative term, and perhaps this delay will reach the political forces to solutions and consensus on candidates to the Interior, Justice and Defense." 

Article 22 of the Iraqi Parliament's Bylaws states that "the House of Representatives has an annual session with two legislative periods of eight months, the first of which begins on March 1 and ends on June 30 of each year, the second of which begins on September 1 and ends on December 31, "The legislative chapter in which the general budget of the state is presented is not terminated until it has been approved."

"

"Iraq is a country full of human potentials capable of carrying out its tasks with professionalism, dedication and sincerity," MP Burhan al-Mamouri said in a statement. He stressed the importance of holding sensitive positions in the country by competent and independent figures in line with the government reform project. "The experience of managing the state institutions by proxy proved its failure over the past years and even contributed to the allocation of quotas and non-professional favoritism," he wondered. "How long will remain the posts of the State of Iraq rich in human resources managed by proxy."

And the character of "Abdul Mahdi, the implementation of the text of Article 80 / V of the Iraqi Constitution," urging him to "submit the names of candidates for the post of agents and ambassadors and special grades and security positions and others who are administered by proxy to parliament for the purpose of voting on them."

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - 
Parliamentarians are moving against two of Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi's two ministers, electricity ministers Loay Khatib and Naim al-Rubaie. 
"The minister of electricity exercised the policy of sectarian discrimination once he reached the ministry, by excluding employees belonging to the Sunni community, to replace them by other officials," MP Mohammad Karbouli said. 
He added that "this discrimination unjustly gives the wrong message in two directions: the first is what has been said about the need for ministers technocrats outside the tracks of sectarian or ethnic cleansing, and the second is that the management of the ministry must be based on the basis of efficiency, first and last.
Karbouli accused the minister of appointing a director of a company and his relative, both of whom have nothing to do with energy production. In a tweet on Twitter, Karbouli said that "in a strange precedent, the Ministry of Electricity obtains the approval of the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers to keep two figures from one family to work in the Ministry of the ministry voluntarily." 
"After the investigation, it turned out that the first is the executive director of Habboush Krupp, and the second is his cousin, a broker and financial investment, and has nothing to do with the production of electricity." 
And there is also another move towards the Minister of Communications Naim Thajil al-Rubaie, to include the procedures of accountability and justice, which means belonging to the banned Baath Party.

Iraq witnesses major political, national crises in 2019

 

The Iraqi political scene is complicated in the beginning of 2019, as the country has recently witnessed more national and political crises.

The raising the flag of the Kurdistan region on all its headquarters in the disputed province of Kirkuk has drawn the attention of the world. Moreover, a new crisis between the Wisdom movement and Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq militia has been too big to be solved secretly.

In addition, Iraq still witnesses the crisis of being unable to complete the government so far due to political disputes between parties, which reflects Prime Minister Adil Abd al-Mahdi's failure to reach a consensus with these parties and take decisive decisions.

Flag raising

Earlier in January, Abd al-Mahdi contacted a number of political leaders and directed them to bring down the Kurdistan flag the PUK had earlier raised on its headquarters in the disputed Kurdish province of Kirkuk.

Abd al-Mahdi also contacted Iraqi President, according to a statement by the Prime Minister's office, to put an end to the "unconstitutional" action the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan committed.

Abd al-Mahdi told politicians that "the appropriate method is to consult with the Federal Supreme Court [of Iraq] whether such step is constitutional before it is taken in case we want to respect the constitution"

Shortly after the PUK raised the flag, Iraqi counter-terror units in Kirkuk brought it down.

After the flag was raised, Shiite Badr Brigades threatened to invade Kirkuk province.

"We watched carefully what happened in Kirkuk last night and we know the backgrounds and motives of some leaders in the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan," Mohamed Mahdi al-Bayati, a Badr's official said.

"What we say in short is: We hope you [learned from] the lesson on October 17, 2017 and we advise you to [meet] with Kirkuk's components of Arabs and Turkmen and not to waste the opportunity," he added.

Wisdom/Asa'ib Conflict

A political crisis broke out between al-Hikma led by Ammar al-Hakim and Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq led by Khazali after Himka's al-Furat TV published news on the involvement of a member of Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq in the assassination of Imad Jabbar, owner of a restaurant in Baghdad's Sadr city earlier in January.

IMIS leaders gathered in the house of the head of Khazali to address the serious political dispute. Head of Badr Organization Hadi al-Amiri, President of Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq Humam Hamoudi also attended the meeting. 

IMIS leaders asserted that continuing to systematically target the militias and their factions can cause damage to the security of the country and society, adding that it can also incite strife.

Observers called for giving a chance to the President's initiative to address the situation, and stopping demonstrations which destabilize the country and incite strife.

Vacant portfolios

Although Abd al-Mahdi has been appointed as the new prime minister in October last year, he couldn't complete the government formation so far.

Three major ministers are still vacant in Abd al-Mahdi's government due to lack of agreement between political parties over the candidates Abd al-Mahdi insists on, mainly interior ministry candidate Faleh al-Fayadh.

Saairun Alliance has reiterated its rejection of Fayadh as candidate for interior ministry, saying that it would never accept him. While their rival, Binna'a Coalition insists to introduce Fayadh for vote in the Parliament.

Abd al-Mahdi adheres to Fayadh as the latter meets conditions of nomination, and therefore he should be introduced to the parliament for vote, Binna'a MP Abdul Amir Tuaiban said, adding that parliament members should subsequently have the option to approve or reject him, and replace him in case he is rejected.

Reform and Reconstruction Alliance's rejection of Fayadh does not come for a political reason or because Fayadh is incompetent, but for personal reasons, Tuaiban asserted, adding that the alliance will accept any one else for the candidacy except Fayadh.

Saairun MP Mudar Ismail said that the Reform and Reconstruction Alliance has a clear stance toward the nomination of Fayadh for the Interior Ministry portfolio, adding that this stance has been understood by all political blocs.

In an interview with The Baghdad Post, Ismail said that Saairun Alliance will not accept Fayadh as interior minister even if he was introduced to the parliament in all its coming sessions for four consecutive years.

Ismail stressed the need to replace Fayadh with another independent and specialized figure capable of managing Iraq's security issues.

"The replacement of Fayadh will contribute to the completion of the ministry and will [allow] the government to provide services to the Iraqi people," as part of its duty, Ismail stated.
