Quite a savings. 20 billion in savings for pay for play a month. 10 billion for salaries. 2 billion for meetings and focus groups. Take all the savings and spread it out amongst the Iraqi citizens. Except for the government employees need to be penalized so no share for them. Wala, happy people, less crime, economy booms.

Warning: The above numbers are fictional and dont represent actual real quantities, so no need for corrections.

Analysis: The crisis benefits the public money stalkers and hinders the opening of corruption files

 

Baghdad/The Obelisk: The oversight committees of the Iraqi parliament have been paralyzed, after Parliament's work was disrupted, while parliamentary sources believe in the obelisk's communication with them that the parties involved in corruption and stalking public money find in the crisis an opportunity to complete their looting projects.

This was confirmed by the representative of the State of Law coalition, Jassem Al-Moussawi, on Thursday, August 25, 2022, that disrupting the work of Parliament stopped the role of the oversight committees.

Al-Moussawi said that disrupting the parliament’s work is in the interest of those working to pass suspicious contracts due to the suspension of the oversight role, stressing that Parliament will have a position on the Ministry of Transport’s statement by noting signs of corruption on the Iraqi Airways company after the return of the sessions.

The representative of the State of Law coalition, Muhammad Chihod, accused “unnamed” influential political parties of disrupting the oversight role of the House of Representatives to pass “projects and contracts.”

While the parties in the coordination framework see that the purpose of the obstruction is to prevent the parliament from exercising the oversight role, parties in the Sadrist movement see that the parliament is originally deficient in its oversight role, and that parties in it are also involved in corruption.
