| 2011-09-12 | |
BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: An al-Iraqiya MP regarded the accusations of some parties, following the resignation of Integrity Chairman, as "unrealistic", pointing out that the resignation is due "to the absence of transparency and stability in government organs".
"The accusation against this bloc or that are unrealistic", he added. He confessed that the Integrity Authority did not fulfill its duties, as desired, due to the political situation in the country and political pressures that do not permit "transparent and natural work". Earlier, Premier Nouri al-Maliki stated to a TV Channel that the Integrity Authority failed to counter corruption in government organs, because there are many corruption dossiers were not open. Dawa' Party sources said to media organs that Premier Maliki is planning to replace Judge Ukaily with Ala' al-Sa'idi, Dawa party member. Ukaily announced that Iraq is passing through a state of corruption and that there are more than 500 director generals are charged with corruption cases. | |
