The Federal Supreme Court issued a decision mid-January 2011, provides for linking the independent bodies under the chairmanship of Minister directly contrary to Article 100 of the Constitution, which states that "the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and the Electoral Commission for elections, and the Integrity Commission, independent bodies under the control of the House of Representatives, and the law governing their work." Against the backdrop of that, the appointment of Judge Alaa al-Maliki Saadi Chairman of the Integrity Commission following the resignation of Rahim in September 2011 due to the pressure of political parties in order to cover up the embezzlement of funds. In this context, he expressed Sabah al-Saadi, a member of the Parliamentary Integrity Committee, surprise at the "disappearance of the work of the Integrity Commission over the past 3 months", believing that "government control over the independent body one of the main reasons why corruption cases disappear." He said the independent MP, in an interview for "long" that "it is known that the independent body should be independent, but the government has tried to account for the particular bodies of integrity and financial control for being the most important among the independent bodies."
and "I criticized strongly the Federal Court decision in seconds bodies Independent Council of Ministers as it gives legitimacy to continuously create the dictatorial regime of the bias in favor of the executive branch. "
He pointed out that "al-Maliki sought at this stage specifically to raise issues relating to corruption, especially those relating to ministries run by his opponents."

" And the position of the Parliamentary Integrity about the work of the Commission present, says Saadi, "We are in the Parliamentary Integrity Committee always contact and follow up, but there is uncertainty about the answers to the Chairman, or disclosure of the outstanding issues," adding that "more than 20 cases of corruption has not been resolved, mostly related files huge amounts of financial corruption. " For his part, Ahmed al-Alwani, a member of the other in the Integrity Committee for the Iraqi List, said that "al-Maliki has a lot of files to put pressure on his opponents Kqdata Hashemi and al-Dulaimi." Stressing that the prime minister "has the files related to corruption condemns opponents who intend to withdraw the confidence and this policy strange."
said Alwani, in a statement to the extent of yesterday, that "the political turmoil contributed greatly absence of the oversight role with respect to the work of the Integrity Commission to disclose the corrupt, and those who implement their plans, issues of financial corruption taking advantage of the large current events in the country. " He said the Iraqi List MP, that "the permanent and temporary committees tasked with the disclosure of corruption cases, all suspended, and is absent because of the political crisis, as well as recess and the absence of legislative and oversight role, especially of the Integrity Commission." But he asserts that his committee "determined to investigate all outstanding issues with the resumption of the House of Representatives."
For his part, confirms the Shaker Disher, a member of the Integrity Commission and the representative of the state of law, "there is a lot of files held by the prime minister could be used against officials," but criticizes what rumored for use by al-Maliki to blackmail his opponents.
says Disher, in an interview with "long", "These rumors are baseless, which was confirmed by head of the current Judge Alaa Saadi at a hearing of the Commission on Integrity in terms denied the intervention of the Prime Minister in any file or issue related to corruption. "
did not monitor the "long" any official activity of the Integrity Commission two months ago (last April) when announced to be able to arrest a person posing as an official high-where and has deceiving senior officers in the Interior Ministry after he managed to sneak into the services of the Ministry of Interior.
A statement published on the website of the Commission that "the Division of Special Operations, in coordination with the Office of Inspector General of the Ministry of Interior and under judicial orders arrested Thursday on a person impersonating an inspector general in the integrity defraud the government departments and the tours of inspection in police stations and the Ministry of Interior and see the names of those arrested."
The Iraq of the leading countries where corruption is frequently, but cases of arrest of the corrupt and hold them accountable, especially in large files, it remains very rare, while the deputies say that the policies of quotas and consensus is that coveted first place on the "fat cats".
