Baghdad (NINA) – The Iraqiya Slat demanded the Cabinet and Parliament to adopt the harshest measures against the corrupt ministers and officials, the ones who were unveiled and the ones who will be unveiled during the ongoing investigations about corruption files in the Ministry of Trade, Ministry of Oil, Ministry of interior, and Ministry of Defense and others. IS also demanded to question all the officials that the investigations prove their involvement in corruption, including the current minister of electricity, in case the accusations against him were proved.
The IS expressed in a statement today “unveiling corruption in the contracts signed by the Ministry of Electricity was not a surprise for us or the honest Iraqis all over the world, corruption that was unveiled and the corruption that will be unveiled was not created now or during the past five months that Minister Raad Shalal assumed his post.”
IS added in its statement that “the Ministry of Electricity was under Hussein Al Shahristani’s management, after the former minister of electricity, Kareem Waheed, was sacked. Also, the senior staff of the ministry and the other staff are still the same since the time of minister Kareem Waheed and Hussein Shahristani, in addition to the time of minister Raad Shalal.”
The slate pointed out that Deputy Prime Minister, Hussein Shahristani, is the number one person in charge of energy file, and all its details, and that he follows up on every single detail regarding energy.
It went on saying “the Cabinet Secretariat General and the Prime Minister personally intervene in all of the contracts and no minister can sign a big contract without referring to them, moreover, the contract value is over the minister’s authorities.”
The statement said that the contracts signed by the Ministry of Electricity must have been offered to the PM and his Deputy for Energy Affairs.
PM Nouri Al Maliki sacked a few days ago the minister of electricity from the IS, Raad Shalal, on the background of unveiling two fake companies, German and Canadian, that the minister signed contracts with to build power stations worth $1.7 billion.
