Baghdad - Iraq today:

 

Broad popular circles welcomed the role that the Iraqi representatives played in the historic session in which the vote on Al-Kazimi's national government ended a few moments ago, stressing that this government is a purely Iraqi option; The deputies of the Iraqi people have demonstrated their patriotism and courage in passing the choices that are in line with the people's aspirations, hopes and aspirations.

And these circles emphasized in conversations for (Iraq Today) that "passing the government through this unique and unanimous national consensus also revealed the extent of depth and convergence between the deputies of the Iraqi people and the aspirations of the people who waited and endured a lot, and here is the watershed moment has come and the time has come for salvation from the state The patient, indeed, a new Iraq has started from this moment, and the Iraqis have established another national system, on the ruins of a system that the resigned Abdul Mahdi government has prepared for. "

Ali Muhammad Hassan said, "The watershed moment today has revealed that another Iraq has begun; and that the response by the Iraqi people's representatives has revealed that they are on the side of the people and responsible for their national decision, and they have succeeded in a critical and pivotal test."

He added that "the formation of Al-Kazemi's government now has ended and turned a long page of political and partisan conflicts and a stage that has exhausted the people and destroyed the country's resources."

While lawyer Zaid Ali said, "The formation of the government dealt a strong blow to the forces of external interference in the Iraqi file, and ended the control of embassies and foreign figures over the government file. Rather, the government’s passing was a real victory for the Iraqi will, and the stage of harvesting the fruits of the brave popular protest that brought down corruption has now begun. And his thrones. "

He added that "the democratic construction in the country has really strengthened now and the era ended in which the ministries were presented in a public bazaar and granted not the basis of independence and efficiency, but on the basis of partisanship, side loyalties

 and corrupt deals, but this time has ended, so that the time of Iraq has already begun."

The citizen Muhammad Ali praised the Shiite blocs that succeeded in encircling their differences and stopping the conspiracies that were hatched for the failure to pass this retaliatory government, stressing that such an option was in response to the aspirations and desire of the Iraqi people and the supreme authority that called for the formation of an Iraqi government that met the aspirations of its uprising people.

The great role that Prime Minister-designate Mustafa Al-Kazimi has played in the past days is praised, and how he managed to stand up to all difficulties and obstacles with a strong spirit and a confident heart, so victory was his ally.

Blessing to the Iraqis this democratic and civilized achievement, which was achieved in harsh economic, health, security and political conditions.

SULAIMANI — The Council of Representatives approved a majority of ministers presented by Prime Minister-designate Mustafa al-Kadhimi on Wednesday (May 6), lawmakers said, ushering in a new government after months of deadlock.

Kadhimi’s picks for interior, defense, finance, electricity, and other key portfolios passed during a parliament vote on the cabinet, the lawmakers said according to Ruters.

Several ministerial candidates were rejected, however, meaning Kadhimi will begin his term without a full government.

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Kurdish members of the Iraqi legislature will vote in favor of Prime Minister-designate Mustafa al-Kadhimi during a special parliamentary session late Wednesday in Baghdad, said a senior lawmaker from the Kurdistan Region who also noted that Shia parties, which make up the majority, are divided on the issue.

“In supporting Mustafa Kadhimi’s cabinet, Kurds are united,” the head of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) bloc in the national parliament, Viyan Sabri, told Kurdistan 24 ahead of the session which was set to begin at 9 p.m. local time, but has reportedly been postponed to start an hour later.

She added that among those who are not expected to vote for the premier hopeful are lawmakers from the State of Law coalition, National Coalition, and some members of the Fatah Alliance. Despite this, the session is expected to meet the required quorum to hold a vote.

Sabri added that Kurds hold three ministries in Kadhimi’s proposed cabinet, although the key post of finance minister, currently filled by the KDP's Fuad Hussein, would go to another group. Instead, a Kurdish politician would receive the high-profile foreign ministry post.

Lawmakers are expected to vote on each ministerial nominee and Kadhimi separately. Scans of documents circulated online early Wednesday purported to show the list of the PM-designate’s cabinet members that included 20 names. However, last-minute changes may have been made amid political jockeying among different parliamentary blocs as is the norm in such votes in Iraq.

Kadhimi, who has served for years as the country’s intelligence chief, is the third candidate nominated to lead the nation after now-caretaker Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi stepped down in late November as the consequence of a repressive crackdown on anti-government protesters that began in early October.

Erbil-Baghdad disputes, the coronavirus pandemic that is crippling governments worldwide, an ongoing protest movement that continues to demand systematic change in the national political system, potential economic repercussions of falling oil prices, and an uptick in attacks by remnants of the Islamic State are among a list of pressing issues Kadhimi would have to work to tackle, should he win over the legislature’s vote.

Iraq’s Parliament approves government programme

 

 07 May 2020 - 1:33 am 

 

 

Iraq’s Council of Representatives (Parliament) on Wednesday approved by a majority the government programme presented by Prime Minister Mr. Mustafa Al-Kadhimi.

 

The programme is a general framework that sets out the government priorities, which include:

 

Holding free and fair early elections after finalising the new electoral law

  Mobilising all resources to combat the coronavirus pandemic, and laying the foundations for a modern health system

  Restricting weapons to state and military institutions

  Submitting to Parliament a special draft budget law to address the economic crisis

  Launching a national dialogue with all sections of Iraqi society, listening to the demands of the protest movement, bringing to justice those involved in the spilling of Iraqi blood and looking after the families of the martyrs

  Protecting the sovereignty and security of Iraq, continuing to fight terrorism, and providing a national vision on the future of foreign forces in Iraq

  Fighting corruption and protecting the wealth of Iraq

  Promoting the values of shared Iraqi citizenship, respecting Iraq’s ethnic, religious diversity, and rejecting all forms of discrimination

   Providing all the necessary requirements to support internally displaced people to return to their home, and end internal displacement in Iraq
 

 

 Developing and reforming security institutions

The programme outlines the government’s plans to reform and modernise Iraq’s military and security institutions, and confirms that:

The duty of the Iraqi Army is to protect Iraq’s external borders, sovereignty, and democratic process. It must not operate inside civilian areas unless by exceptional orders from the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces

  The security formations of the Ministry of Interior will be responsible for internal security, maintaining civil peace, the rule of law, and protecting human rights. These formations will be reorganised, will receive further training, and be properly equipped

  The National Intelligence Service, the National Security Agency, the Counter-Terrorism Service, and Popular Mobilisation Units will continue to perform the tasks assigned to them as directed by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces

  The security forces will be properly equipped and provided with the necessary arms and ammunitions to enable them to protect Iraq from terrorism and to secure its borders

   The Armed Forces will be governed by a professional military doctrine with a strict respect for the chain of command, and be representative of all segments of Iraqi society

 

Addressing the economic and fiscal challenges

The programme outlines several measures the new government will implement to address current economic challenges, including:

Reducing public spending, ending non-essential expenditure, developing an effective system for collecting customs tariffs, and starting negotiations to restore Iraq’s oil production share which was reduced recently

   Working with global financial institutions, including the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, to develop programmes to minimise the impact of the economic crisis, especially in relation to reducing the budget deficit, and ensuring efficient management of financial resources

   Establishing the Supreme Council for Construction and Investment which will be responsible for drawing up a comprehensive plan for building Iraq’s infrastructure, and for encouraging investment in all provinces

   Submitting to Parliament a draft Iraqi National Oil Company Law, and establishing a team to negotiate with oil companies changes to Iraq’s oil licensing rounds to reflect recent developments in global markets

    Launching a “Made in Iraq” national project to encourage local industry and agriculture by adopting appropriate mechanisms and laws, and through the consistent and effective application of customs tariffs

  Directing the Central Bank of Iraq to develop a plan within a year for the modernisation of the Iraqi banking sector

   Undertaking comprehensive administrative reforms of state institutions, removing unnecessary procedures, and implementing anti-corruption measures

   Restarting the e-government and transparency projects to include all state institutions

   Adopting programmes to empower young people to access jobs in the private sector and provide them with social security benefits similar to those enjoyed by their counterpart in the public sector

  Expanding the scope of social security benefits to support low and fixed income groups

   Adopting automation and modern technology in state institutions, especially at the Border Crossings Authority and  in the customs system  

 

Iraq’s foreign relations

The programme outlines three pillars that will guide the government’s approach to foreign relations:

Sovereignty: Iraq will not allow any country to violate its sovereignty, and will not permit its territories to be used to launch attacks on any of its neighbours or be used as an arena to settle regional or international scores

   Balance: Iraq will not become part of any regional or international axis, and will adopt a balanced policy of positive engagement with its Muslim and Arab neighbours, countries around the world, and abide by its international commitments

  Cooperation: Iraq seeks to build an integrated system of common and shared interests as a basis for its foreign relations, and seeks to contribute effectively to resolving regional and international crises, combating terrorism, money laundering, and organised crime. The government will also commence detailed preparations for the upcoming talks with the United States on the future relationship between the two countries and the presence of the Global Coalition in Iraq, with the aim of preserving Iraq’s higher interests and fulfilling the aspirations of the Iraqi people.
 

 

Combatting corruption and administrative reforms

The programme outlines a range of measures to combat corruption, including:

 Conducting an audit of the financial records of companies and commercial entities belonging to political parties, public figures, and others which are suspected of having illegitimate sources for their assets

  Reforming the system of awarding government contracts and changing investment rules

  Enforcing current laws to pursue  and return Iraq’s money that have been smuggled abroad

  Holding corrupt individuals accountable, regardless of their influence
 

 

Delivering justice and judicial independence

The government will propose laws and adopt measures to safeguard the independence of the judiciary, and to pursuse and hold accountable law breakers.
 

Protecting the right to protest, empowering youth

The programme underscores the government’s commitment to protecting the right to peaceful protest, describing it as a “fundamental democratic practice”. It also highlights the critical role of young Iraqis in shaping the future of the country.  The programme commits the government to:

Establishing an advisory council of young Iraqis representing all provinces, linked to the Prime Minister’s Office, to be part of the policy formulation process with regard to the government reform agenda. The proposed council will also advise the government on the development of mechanisms and regulations to protect the right to peaceful protest.
 

 

The Federal Government, the Kurdistan Regional Government and the Governorates

The programme sets out a number of steps to regulate relations between the Federal government on the one hand and  the Kurdistan Reginal Government and the governorates on the other, including:

Working with the Kurdistan Regional Government to address outstanding problems in accordance with the Constitution

   Working with Parliament to develop necessary legislation to organise the relationship between the Federal Government and the governorates in a way that guarantees an effective distribution of powers between the centre and the provinces.
