Mutalibi criticizes adopting confessionalism in forming security forces

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) MP, Saad al-Mutalibi, of the State of Law Coalition headed by the Premier, Nouri al-Maliki, criticized the confessionalism adopting in forming the security forces.

He stated to IraqiNews.com “Adopting the confessionalism in the security field is critical danger against Iraq and its political regime.”

“Some politicians call for distributing the security posts according to the electoral and parliamentary shares,” he added.

“The commanders of Iraqi Army Divisions are from the various political blocs and this will harm the authority,” he continued.

“The General Command of the Armed Forces must be granted the absolute authority to nominate the security leaders,” he mentioned.

“Coordinating the performance of the security forces is good but there is a greater problem represented by corruption among the security forces,” he concluded.
