Baghdad, Aug. 25 (AKnews) - *****The National Accord Movement – part of al-Iraqiya and led by former prime minister Ayad Allawi - today accused Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki of "tyranny" for naming his deputy for Energy Affairs Hussein al-Shahristani to temporarily run the Electricity ministry. *****
Movement spokesman Hadi al-Dalimy told Aknews that the movement rejects Maliki's naming of Shahristani, after the Electricity Minister Raad Shallal submitted his resignation due to his signing of contracts with non-existent companies.
Al-Iraqiya announced last Saturday that it would be nominating MP Ziad al-Thareb for the post.
*****"Iraqiya is mostly concerned in achieving national partnership. Naming Shahristani as the Minister of Electricity ignores the political consensus that Maliki promised to uphold whe appointed as prime minister." *****
State of Law Coalition (SLC) deputy Hanan al-Fatlawi revealed on the sixth of this month that the Ministry of Electricity signed contracts - worth a total of $1.7 billion - with two fake companies to build power plants in Iraq.
