Citizen MP describes Maliki’s statements over corruption in Infrastructure law as Dangerous

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) MP, Hamid al-Khudhari, of the Citizen bloc stated “All the political blocs support the Infrastructure law draft because it serves Iraq, but there are some problems in it that need to be fixed in order to be endorsed,” noting that “Citizen bloc supports this law draft.”

Speaking to Iraqi News (IraqiNews.com), he stated “Iraq needs to be built either by the Infrastructure law draft or any other laws where those who do not want to build it are suspected of being national.”

“The Premier, Nouri al-Maliki, during the parliament session held last week, has referred to the existence of corruption within this law draft which is considered a dangerous issue,” he added, noting that “Maliki had to say that we will eliminate this corruption and not to call for endorsing this law in addition there should be a competition among the companies that wish to perform projects within this law draft.”

“The projects included in this law draft must be mentioned in order to make the MPs vote on this law,” he concluded.

It is worth mentioning that the Iraqi Parliament postponed the vote on the Infrastructures law draft.

The Rapporteur of the Parliament Mohamed al-Khalidi said “The Parliament session of Tuesday postponed the vote on the Infrastructures law draft till next Thursday session because the heads of blocs have not completed the discussions about it.”
