The National: The Iraqi budget has become farcical, and every party is calling for higher allocations

2023.05.05 - 14:30

 

Baghdad - Nas  

The Emirati English-language newspaper "the national" said that the Iraqi budget has become comical, as each party demands higher allocations for their ministries.  

  

  

  

And the newspaper stated in a report affiliated with "NAS" (May 5, 2023), "In all sectors in Iraq, the hype to obtain government funds extends from politically linked clans to state-run companies, official security forces, and even militias linked to Iran."  

  

She added, "The main political blocs are defending a system that divides state resources in the form of spoils. Iraq is trying to pass a budget bill that would see record spending for 3 years and a record high deficit, which would be compensated for by a year without a budget due to political disagreement before the Sudanese government took power in October." ".  

  

And she continued, "The budget has become comical, as each party demands higher allocations for their ministries. The increased operational spending to increase government salaries - resulting from politicized employment - will crowd out investment in public services."  

  

And she indicated, "The draft budget could increase employment in the public sector by 700,000."  

  

And she pointed out that "Al-Sudani expressed his desire to conduct a strict assessment of the performance of the positions (special grades) appointed by the parties, which are the senior ministerial positions that in some cases enjoy wide-ranging powers, such as influencing the awarding of contracts. But Al-Sudani, like before him, is simply replacing Failed officials with more loyalists.

Al-Barzanji said; For the program {Without Accusation}, broadcast by Al-Furat TV channel this evening, that: “The changes that took place in the positions of general managers were agreed upon when Al-Sudani assumed his duties in forming the ministerial cabinet, and the committees submitted their reports in the light of which the changes were made; but those who were exempted do not necessarily have to be corrupt and the assessments By the right of general managers, most of them deserve.”
He added, "There were two evaluations, the first within the ministers and the second in the prime minister's office, and the replacements will be from within the ministry, not outside it," adding, "When the prime minister monitors the state's performance and controls its threads, he is considered a strength, not a weakness, and he considers restoring the position's prestige to its place."

The leaking of official documents reveals a security vulnerability and a lack of responsibility for national risks

 

May 6, 2023

Baghdad / Obelisk Al-Hadath: The Iraqi government is trying to eliminate the phenomenon of leaking correspondence and official books, which constitute a threat to Iraqi national security, as well as being a legal violation and a criminal offense, regardless of the importance of their content.

The controversy revolves around the fact that many of the leaks are intended to target certain parties, and to strip the citizen's confidence in government institutions, especially since important official books classified as being of limited access are being leaked.

The legal expert, Ali Al-Tamimi, confirmed on Saturday that the legal punishment must be imposed on the employee who discloses job secrets and publishes official books.

Al-Tamimi said, in a statement to Al-Masalla, that the employee is entrusted with what he knows of secrets related to the public office, and these secrets are protected by laws, including the Disciplinary Law for State Employees, the Civil and Military Penal Code, and other laws such as income tax.

He added that the philosophy in this prohibition is that the employee represents the state in preserving these secrets, and therefore delving into them and publishing them in any way, whether electronic or regular, is a loss of confidence and disturbs public order and contradicts the goal of the public office that is intended to confirm this trust.

And the leaking of official documents can be to reveal corruption in state agencies, but that must be coupled with evidence, just as official documents are leaked to reveal sensitive information that may be related to national security, diplomacy, or public security.

He continued that the employee who publishes these official books without official approval shall be punished according to the Disciplinary Law of State Employees in accordance with Articles 8 and 10 of this Law 14 of 1991 and the formation of an investigative committee that has the right to refer the file to the investigation court with the approval of the minister .. Also, the affected person can file this complaint directly This employee is charged according to Articles 437 and 438 thereof, which are punishable by imprisonment for a period of up to 2 years, and it may be tightened if the publications harm the security of the state, which is the same in the Military Penal Code.

And between: It is permissible for the harmed person who is affected by the published books to claim the authority from which the books were issued for material compensation in accordance with Article 219 of the Civil Code.

Leaking of official documents may violate the privacy and civil rights of individuals.

And he went on: Iraq urgently needs to legislate the cybercrime law, as the UAE, Jordan, Palestine and others did.

He concluded: It must be noted that the publication of such information may affect even the family of the person whose information is published in the long run.

Previous governments sought to prevent the leakage of any official document to unofficial parties or its publication through the media, but they did not succeed in deterring this phenomenon.

The leaking of official documents leads to corruption of trust between the government and the public and affects the inter-relationships between parties, people and state institutions, and makes state secrets open even to foreign countries.

Al-Sudani promises Al-Halbousi to implement the "Sunni card" and create new alliances in preparation for the local elections

Baghdad / Tamim Al-Hassan

Partially, calm has returned on the front of the coordination framework, while the Sunni forces are faltering in removing Muhammad al-Halbousi, the Speaker of Parliament until now.

It is believed that Prime Minister Muhammad al-Sudani has temporarily retracted his intention to carry out a cabinet reshuffle, which has reduced tensions within the Shiite alliance.

And the Sunnis, on the other hand, began announcing the first alliances for the upcoming local elections without changes to the map of alliances in parliament.

The two parties are now busy, according to observers, in tracking the movement of the parties and recording what could be considered "violations in the early election campaign."

Some local sources in Nineveh, where al-Sudani visited the province two days ago, explained that he is trying to "manage projects in the city for electoral calculations."

And the presence of al-Sudani in Mosul, according to what the sources say, is crowding out Sunni parties such as “Takadam” led by al-Halbousi, and “Hasm” affiliated with Defense Minister Thabet al-Abbasi.

Al-Sudani's team, who accompanied him to Mosul, quoting local sources, believes that the city "is living in a state of chaos and poor planning," despite all the money it got from budgets and the Reconstruction Fund.

This opinion is recorded as being against the effective political forces in Mosul, where the obsession with electoral promotion strongly dominates the movement of parties these days, according to what the sources say.

Among the issues that are likely to be behind the recent de-escalation between the prime minister and parties within the coordination framework is the decline in talk of a "ministerial reshuffle".

A leader in one of the parties affiliated with the "framework" could not confirm or deny to (Al-Mada) whether Al-Sudani had decided to cancel the idea of replacing ministers, but he said: "There is a reduction in the level of talk about the ministerial change."

And the leader, who asked not to be named, adds: “Most wings of the coordination framework believe that the prime minister’s talk about a government amendment was part of the electoral promotion to show the independence of his decision within the framework.”

Al-Sudani's decline in enthusiasm for the cabinet change appeared after his recent meeting with Nuri al-Maliki, leader of the State of Law and most of those who rejected the government reshuffle.

And Al-Sudani indicated in an economic conference that took place in Baghdad last week that it is difficult to evaluate the ministers now, "and they are without a budget," while he was interpreted as retracting the cabinet reshuffle or postponing it for another time.

However, according to the leader in the "framework", "the calm now may dissipate with the approach of local elections, (which are supposed to take place at the end of this year), due to a change in the map of alliances in the provinces."

Hawk front

Indeed, some Sunni forces began to reveal the mechanism for running in the elections, after announcing a new alliance between Khamis al-Khanjar, the leader of the Sovereignty Alliance, and former MP Mishaan al-Jabouri and his Watan party.

The alliance that was announced in Salah al-Din was called "the hawks of the nation, the knights of sovereignty," while al-Khanjar, at the celebration of the emergence of the alliance, renewed his demand for the approval of a general amnesty and compensation for those affected.

Mishaan al-Jubouri had announced earlier that a Sunni alliance would soon be formed without Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi to support al-Sudani and replace al-Halbousi.

Al-Jubouri hinted that this new alliance might understand the prime minister's failure to implement the demands of the western regions.

However, Haider Al-Mulla, a leader in the Azm Alliance (a Sunni movement competing with Al-Halbousi), denied forming an alliance between his party and the "hawks".

He said in an interview with (Al-Mada) that “what is happening is alliances to pave the way for entering the next local elections,” noting that a party advanced outside this electoral alliance, but continues with “sovereignty” in Parliament.

Regarding the news of the removal of the Speaker of Parliament, Al-Mulla said: “There are dialogues between Azm and other forces on the issue, and the decision will be after the approval of the budget.”

The budget is supposed to be approved at the end of this week, according to what was announced by the State Administration Coalition, which includes all the dominant forces in Parliament.

Al-Halbousi and Al-Sudani

Regarding attempts to expel al-Halbousi, Yahya al-Muhammadi, spokesman for the Taqaddam Party, describes these news as "media explosives" that we usually hear from parties and personalities who "failed to win the past elections."

Al-Mohammadi says in an interview with (Al-Mada) that the parties that talk about changing the Speaker of Parliament “most of them are surrounded by accusations and suspicions, or some who are looking for personal interests and gains, as evidenced by the fact that we have not heard, until this moment inside Parliament, any demand from any member of the House of Representatives. about this subject".

He added, "Therefore, some may try to invest in these explosives to pressure towards achieving special interests, which was evident in the statements of one of the accused of forgery (referring to Mishaan al-Jubouri), who indicated that he was ready to give up the rights of the component in exchange for the removal of President Muhammad al-Halbousi."

Al-Muhammadi continued that whoever thinks that “the Speaker of Parliament may be subject to pressure or blackmail, or turn right or left away from the path of promoting development and reconstruction is very important, and he must have the necessary courage and present the reasons and justifications for that, and then follow the paths drawn by the law instead of staying up late.” In the studios of some satellite channels, or tampering with social media applications.

As for the continuation of Al-Halbousi’s alliance with Al-Khanjar, a spokesman for Taqaddam says: “We have a parliamentary alliance with sovereignty that was formed under the dome of the House of Representatives to strengthen parliamentary work between the Taqaddam Party and the Arab Project Party, and therefore this alliance is continuing with the goals for which it was formed in Parliament, which is A parliamentary alliance, not an electoral alliance, and the relationship between its two poles, President al-Halbousi and Sheikh Khamis al-Khanjar, is a good and strong relationship.

As for outside the parliament, Al-Muhammadi explains: “We are in a party that advances. We have our project, our goals, and the mechanisms that we deem appropriate to achieve those goals, which may sometimes agree with the vision of the Arab Project Party as they agree with others, and may differ. Therefore, each of us has his own approach and vision, and even his alliances. upcoming local events.

On the relationship of the Speaker of Parliament with the Prime Minister, Al-Mohammadi said, "They have a good relationship, and the difference in views sometimes on some issues and files does not mean that there will be a rupture between them, as some want to portray that."

Speaking about the recent meeting that took place between the two parties following the news of the rivalry, he added: “The meeting was very positive and there were clear understandings about the issue of the budget and the importance of expediting its approval, and the Prime Minister renewed his commitment to the political agreement paper, which was signed before the formation of the government, In the coming days, we may see other meetings that bring together Presidents Al-Halbousi and Al-Sudani to enhance understandings and implement agreements.

Mufti said; For the “Without Accusation” program broadcast by Al-Furat TV channel this evening, Monday, that: “The political blocs control the government with the sense of what was stipulated in the Iraqi constitution, which means that the Sudanese or any future prime minister cannot be replaced except with the initial approval of the blocs, and the process is not easy.” ".

He added, "It is possible that Al-Sudani's assessment of ministers and agents will continue, and the seven-month period is not short to assess their performance," explaining that "their assessment is not related to financial spending," revealing, "According to the information, the change will be from 6-8 ministers in Al-Sudani's cabinet."

And the Mufti said, "The process of spending on projects comes in the fourth stage of the evaluation of the minister, who, if he wants to be unique in his opinion, there is no one to deter him, and he is the one who bears the result in the end."

{Politics: Al-Furat News} The political analyst, Hashim Al-Kindi, denied the reports that talked about the fragmentation of the coordination framework.

 

Al-Kindi said; For the program {Without Accusation} broadcast by Al-Furat TV channel this evening, Monday, that: “The government of Prime Minister Muhammad Shia’a Al-Sudani represents the will of the majority and political calm is the most prominent address at this stage in the life of the government, and what the government has accomplished in terms of services is in line with the accomplished government program, and there is satisfaction in the Iraqi and political streets on the government's performance.

He added, "What is said about the fragmentation of the framework is incorrect, and it is still sober and plays its role with great understanding, as well as with other parties, and it is part of its responsibility properly, and it did not take advantage of the differences of others to achieve private gains."

Al-Kindi continued, "Important changes took place during the first six months of the government's life. As for the ministerial change, it still exists, and its timing and priorities are within the powers of the prime minister, and part of the evaluation is also the responsibility of the representatives."

Al-Kindi referred to "realistic problems in the government's work, including the United States of America, which still treats Iraq as if it is under Chapter Seven, and its work is still determined by not dealing with Siemens, and America continues to put pressure on Iraq to be obedient to its policies." 

And he added, "For the government to launch its plans and projects, it must get rid of all pressures, as America wants Iraq as its hostage and prevents its agreement with China and the payment of Iran's dues, which dropped one and a half billion of its debts on Iraq."

Al-Kindi stressed, "The stability and political calm achieved today with the cooperation of all, and this counts, and the Sadrists are active in the state and involved in providing services."

And he added, "America pushed an ambassador outside the scope of the political performance to Iraq, and he must not be left in this way, and the performance of the ambassador cannot be tolerated because it is unacceptable, and the framework rejected the movements of the American ambassador with announced statements."

Assigning new faces in the state is supported

The first  2023/07/11

 

 

  Baghdad: Haider Al-Jaber

 

Talk is escalating about expected changes in the joints of the Iraqi state, including ministers, heads of agencies and general directors, as observers and journalists support making changes to pump new blood into the arteries of the state's administrative apparatus.

 

Government officials have been assuming their work in special grades for many years, which portends monotony in performance and an increase in routine government work, as the prime minister appears free to make the change he wants, in support of the implementation of the government program.

 

The academic and researcher in political affairs, d. Abdul Aziz Al-Issawi pointed out that replacing faces is necessary to implement the government curriculum, and that some countries set a time limit for officials to assume government positions.

 

Al-Issawi told Al-Sabah: "Changes and replacement of faces are necessary if we take into account the ministerial curriculum full of promises related to services and the eradication of poverty." Pointing out that "some countries set a specific time for assuming the position."

 

Al-Issawi asked, "Will the political blocs allow the prime minister to make changes without political interference?" He stressed that it is a "difficult test", expecting political objections to be issued.

 

The researcher also predicted that "the changes will be bold and will not stop at the borders of the capital, Baghdad, or specific provinces, because the Sudanese has graduated in government jobs and knows that success will only be achieved by changing the unproductive and ineffective faces," and indicated that "addressing the failure of previous governments is not with the same tools, because change It is necessary for the Iraqi state and an absolute necessity if the prime minister wants to implement the governmental platform he promised.

 

Al-Issawi reaffirmed that "making changes is a positive matter, especially since the prime minister is not preparing to run for elections, and any reform will count in his favor if he manages to fend off the political pressures he is exposed to," and indicated that "we may witness building a real state, because states succeed When every official exercises his duties away from political interference.

Ministerial amendments.. a means for media consumption or political pressures preventing them? - Urgent

policy |Today, 17:38 |

    

 

 

 

Baghdad today - Baghdad

Since the emergence of the first government in 2005 after the US invasion of Iraq, a prime minister "did not dare" to amend his government cabinet without consulting with the political forces, as specialists confirm, as the cabinet formation was and still is based on the principle of "election dues" or what is popularly called " Muhasasa", however, the current Prime Minister, Muhammad Shia'a al-Sudani, declared his intention to deal with this politically unfamiliar matter after 2003, challenging the political forces by saying, "Whoever wants to refuse, let him refuse."

It is assumed that the change of ministers will take place on the basis of a 6-month evaluation, but the Sudanese government has been in existence for 9 months since October 13, 2022, and the ministerial reshuffles have not seen the light until now.

"Baghdad Today" spoke with a researcher in political affairs, Ahmed Al-Sharifi, today, Tuesday (8 August 2023), to find out the reasons for the delay in the amendments. The various parties, with the aim of preventing him from carrying out any cabinet reshuffle, despite his promises to do so.

He added, "There are ministers in the current government, who did not provide anything, and we believe there is a need to change them, but the pressures remain in control of this matter, and for this we find the Prime Minister directed to exempt some officials in the state, including managers and others, without prejudice to the personalities who have political and partisan protection." ".

Prime Minister Muhammad Shia al-Sudani, who formed his government during the month of October 2022, pledged days after its formation that he would work to evaluate the performance of those with special grades in the country (general directors and undersecretaries of ministries) within 4 months and subject ministers to evaluation within 6 months.

In the current government there are 23 ministries, distributed among Sunni, Shiite and Kurdish political parties, in addition to minorities, in the manner of “quotas”, or as traditional parties express it by electoral entitlement, which is “consensual” according to the classifications of Iraqi observers, as it passed through the Iraqi Parliament in October Last year, without differences between the parties. 

In the context, Iyad al-Anbar, a professor of political thought at the University of Kufa, criticized, via "Baghdad Today", the delay in the ministerial changes, attributing the reasons to being "for media consumption, especially since the assessments that al-Sudani spoke about after 6 months were not based on a normative issue and public opinion was not informed." On it, as it is not known what plans and programs were presented by the ministers for evaluation, and whether the evaluation is at the administrative level or at the level of achievement.

Al-Anbar added, “This is the habit of all previous governments with procrastination and media consumption of such issues, and even if the ministerial amendments were put forward after the budget instructions were published, it does not go beyond being procrastination and media consumption, as it needs political agreements, finding replacements and passing it through Parliament,” noting that “the issue will remain In a vicious circle, since the prime minister does not have the right to make the amendment.

As for the talk about the American veto that some newspapers spoke of against some ministers of the framework, Al-Anbar stressed, "This talk is unrealistic and is put forward by political opponents, nothing more."

Al-Sudani said in a speech he delivered during the Council of Ministers session last February, "The minister ends his relationship with the political forces after his nomination and obtaining the confidence of Parliament."

And the Prime Minister stated in a clip broadcast on state television that "the minister who feels pressure or threat, I am present." A few hours after Al-Sudani's speech, a number of ministers appeared during a meeting of the State Administration Coalition.

Al-Sudani added in the session, "We did not see any preliminary indications of the performance of ministers in combating corruption, and ministers, officials and general managers must be present in the field to solve problems." 

The Prime Minister affirmed: I will not compliment any leader or party with the cabinet reshuffle, and whoever wants to refuse, let him refuse.

As for the researcher in political affairs, Ziyad Al-Arar, he told "Baghdad Today" that "the cabinet reshuffle is not possible because there is no financial abundance through which the prime minister can evaluate the minister's work and achievements."

Al-Arar believes that "there is an evaluation and change coming during the next three months, and there is no possibility currently for evaluation or change."

In addition, the head of the Center for Political Thinking, Ihsan al-Shammari, says, "The prime minister's words are pressure on ministers who are in conflict with some parties or are unable to uncover corruption files."

Al-Shammari added, in press statements, that "Al-Sudani's failure to manage the corruption file and its spread in state institutions weakens his popularity and his pledges to solve this file."

Al-Shammari continues: "Al-Sudani, in the speech that appeared to him, seemed to want to distance himself if he failed to combat corruption. The blame will lie on the ministers whom he warned of not performing their duty."

Frequent news talks about changing at least 5 ministers and 4 governors, in light of their performance, which Al-Sudani personally evaluates. 

According to the Iraqi constitution, the prime minister can make amendments to his cabinet, provided that it is voted on by a half-plus-one majority of parliament.
