A Deputy Affirms The Necessity Of Imposing State Prestige On Border Crossings

On June 28, 2020

 

 

 

(Independent) .. The deputy of the National Approach Bloc Hussein Al-Aqabi stressed the necessity of imposing the prestige of the state and the rule of law on the border (land and sea) outlets in the various governorates of Iraq, again calling on the government to impose state sovereignty on these outlets and free them from gang control.

Al-Oqabi suggested strengthening the work of the security services charged with protecting these outlets - including those in the Kurdistan region - and assigning a strong security authority to maintain and control them for a period of time, and to prevent the interference of any political, partisan or clan power in them except for the federal government.

He called for the formation of a governmental committee of senior employees of the Financial Supervision Bureau, the Integrity Commission, the ministries of finance, trade, planning and local authorities, who are known for their competence, integrity and patriotism, whose task is to fully supervise the work of these outlets and control work in them, including collecting tax and customs tariffs and evaluating the performance of existing employees.

He also called for the development of work mechanisms at border crossings in accordance with the electronic governance and information automation system to prevent cases of fraud and corruption.

He expressed his belief that controlling imports of border outlets, 90% of which are lost in “Fayyafi Bani Saad and the wombs of whales”, will provide an important resource to bridge the budget deficit and maximize non-oil revenue in it, and “restore the state's prestige and power, reinforce law enforcement and reduce the corruption that prevails in The rest of the institutions. ”

1- Adopting governance (the electronic system for collecting customs duties) in a comprehensive management of all outlets, to ensure accurate control and responsible follow-up in the full payment of revenues. 3- Appointing an honest and efficient field administration for each outlet and supporting the deployment of elite security forces that protect their sound decisions and block the way for any groups that interfere in the work of the outlets and their revenues. 4- Close the unlicensed ports and crossings that operate outside the control of the state and the law. 5- Reconsideration of granting exemptions from customs, as regulatory reports indicate that they are exploited by persons and entities not legally covered, and exemptions should be minimized to the maximum extent possible, and that customs duties are collected from everyone in the outlets and after verification in the center of the validity of their inclusion in the exemption The statutory refund to them at the withheld customs fees.

2- Subjecting all ports to the administration of the federal authority, including regional ports Kurdistan. 8- Connect all the outlets to a national control center in

Baghdad / news

Economic expert, Safwan Qusai, saw today, Tuesday, that there are influential bodies that control the work of border crossings and will not allow government control over them, pointing out that the government move is still shy and the people want to seek the encirclement of corruption.

 "It is true that there is a move by the current government, but it is still shy despite the slight increase in monthly revenues, especially in the southern outlets," he added.

Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi has confirmed on more than one occasion that there are deterrent measures soon to be taken to control the corruption of official border outlets, and to monitor the borders to close the unofficial ones.
