The coalition of victory, led by Haider al-Abadi, on Thursday, questioned the dismissal of a thousand corrupt employees by the Iraqi government, headed by Adel Abdul Mahdi.

The coalition MP Nada Shaker Jawdat, told Twilight News, "The government of Abdul-Mahdi, announced during the last period of the dismissal of a thousand corrupt employees, but so far, has not been disclosed the names of these employees, or the positions held by these employees."

Jawdat said that "there is a lack of transparency and clarity of this matter or the decision, as there is doubt, to take such action, especially since there is no book or official document, confirming what the government announced, in a press release, and distributed to the media only."

MP Ahmed al-Jubouri earlier described the current federal government, headed by Adel Abdul-Mahdi, as "the most corrupt and failed" among its predecessors.

"As a deputy of the Iraqi people for three consecutive sessions, I have monitored governments since 2010 and so far I am certain that corruption, failure, quotas, and breach of the constitution in this government is the largest among governments," Jubouri said.

He added that "most parliamentary blocs bear this, especially the presidency of the parliament, which contributed to consecrate the quota and violate the Constitution."

The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) said on Tuesday that drugs in Iraq have become a phenomenon that threatens the family and society.

"Drugs in Iraq have become a phenomenon threatening the family and society because of the serious effects that have started targeting young people," said Fadhel al-Gharawi, a member of the Iraqi Human Rights Commission in a statement earlier this year.

Al-Gharawi added that "UNHCR has documented the statements of more than 100 drug dealers and traffickers and pointed out that males are more drug users by 89.79% (6672) in detention centers while females account for 10.2% with 134 detainees." She also pointed out that the age groups most abused by drugs are young people, specifically the age group (29-39 years) (40.95%), followed by age group (18-29 years) (35.23%).
