That’s a loaded question when it comes to the workings of the Iraqi Government. Logic to me if I had a say in the workings of their political and financial matters would be to take a very Active approach to all things relating to being financially independent so that Iraq could be a strong player and compete with world economies for their market share and so that their citizens had the same buying power to compete as well..

navira Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Bettyboop, the ministry of edu was rejected today in today's vote but voted to exempt the first ministry of edu...also, the new CBI governor has not been voted yet and the special grades are scheduled this sat...n hopefully the CBI governor is included in that agenda.
