Baghdad / The Obelisk: The Obelisk publishes the most prominent interactions of Sunday’s television dialogues.
Head of the New Generation Parliamentary Bloc, Sarwa Abdel Wahed, during a televised interview:
Parliament retreats in every election cycle
The deputies who came in the name of the independents were the cause of the suspension of Parliament
Hundreds of thousands of national cards in Kurdistan are not real
Amending the election law will proceed with the will of the large blocs
St. Lego’s recognition of the single district may bring together the independents on one front
The Board of Trustees of the Media Network is an extra circle
The trustees of the media network are lobbies and have caused many problems
The Board of Trustees does not talk about aliens in the Iraqi Media Network
The trustees of the media network are lobbies and have caused many problems
Al-Sudani has no personal animosity and his assessment of the ministers is professional
The oil minister is a professional, but his “character is weak.”
– The Ministry of Foreign Affairs witnessed appointments for people without degrees, and they included those who “read and write.”
The Democratic Party will not get its current votes if fair elections are held
The Democratic Party witnessed a decrease in the number of its votes during the last elections
Representative of the State of Law coalition, Alia Nassif, during a televised interview:
Al-Kazemi’s recent statements condemn him, and silence is better for him
Al-Kazemi is trying to re-market himself
The St. Lego threshold of 1.9 is not included in the amendment to the electoral law
There are no independent representatives in Parliament
– St. Lego is “useful” for the Independents
Some deputies claiming independence went bankrupt in the street
The questioning of the media network secretaries is legal and does not involve political targeting
Parliament will overthrow ministers according to an integrated process with the government
There is no such thing as a “last chance government.”
A deputy from the “Sharna Giants” sold his vote for dollars in exchange for the election of Al-Halbousi
Some independent MPs work with the “buyer buy” mechanism.
Ali Turki, representative of the Sadiqoon Bloc, during a televised interview:
Al-Kazemi’s advisors and associates were the first and main factor in the theft of the century
– Al-Sudani made a sound start by going to the street, and there is an evaluation of all officials in his government
We have many files under investigation, including the theft, the century, the assassination of the leaders of victory, and others
We will not back down from investigating corruption files in the previous government until Al-Kazemi is held accountable and put in prison
Industry Minister Khaled Battal during a televised interview:
The Ministry of Industry is “crying for help” and has many problems
– I would like to name the ministry “Ministry of Minerals and Industry” to focus on minerals
Industry in Iraq has gone through volatile stages throughout history
We have an opportunity to restore balance between industry and minerals and leave the detailed industries to the private sector
Investing in “minerals” will provide an important resource for the state and may compete with oil by supplying the general budget
We will hold a mining conference after Ramadan and invite major companies to inform them of the available opportunities in Iraq
Iraq is lagging behind in terms of mineral exploitation and the development of industries
The allocations of the Ministry of Industry in the budget are very few, and I am with this matter and not against it
– It is unreasonable to allocate a budget to a ministry that is supposed to contribute to the state budget
The 2023 budget is under the pressure of operating spending from salaries and ruling expenses
It is not possible to allocate funds to the Ministry of Industry in a compressed budget
The best solution now lies in turning to the private sector and investment
Major projects need 4 or 5 years to be completed
Al-Sudani made it easy for me halfway, and when I talk to him, he understands the idea before the matter ends
Al-Sudani is supportive of the ideas that are presented because he is aware of the problems of the Ministry of Industry
The presence of the Sudanese is a helping factor for me and the ministry
The start of work in the “iron and steel” plant is evidence of the speed of reaction
– Al-Sudani lifted the delay on “mineral investment”, which had been suspended for years
The ministry’s contribution to the “pharmaceutical industry” does not reach 15%.
85% of Iraqi medicines are imported, and their cost amounts to $3 billion annually
We have a great opportunity to localize the “pharmaceutical industry” in the country
We canceled the investment of a land belonging to the “Samarra” company in Yusufiyah and turned it into a pharmaceutical industrial city
We have a “medical city” in Nineveh, and it will be available very soon
Achieving self-sufficiency in the “pharmaceutical industry” depends on controlling border crossings
Industry cannot be encouraged or localized in the presence of border problems
Cancer drugs take a lot from “Kimadia” allowances
We want to provide cancer medicines inside Iraq and reduce their prices
Some industrialists are the same importers of the drug
The advantages granted in the localization of the drug will generate more profit than importing
The problem is with Samarra Pharmaceuticals, not with the Ministry of Industry
The “Samarra Pharmaceuticals” company signed a monopoly marketing contract with a private sector company, at a value of 39 billion per year
– I relieved the general manager of “Samarra Pharmaceuticals” and his assistant because of the details of the monopolistic contract
The ministry’s vision is to establish one or more “industrial cities” in each governorate
The state will not be able to finance large projects for the Ministry of Industry
The Council of Ministers took decisions to protect the national product by imposing duties on products manufactured inside Iraq
The National Product Protection Law allows the industrialist to submit a request to impose protection fees on his product
We took an important decision to reduce “fuel” to support the private sector
The problem is not in imposing “taxes”, but in the possibility of implementing them
Contracts of the Ministry of Industry are divided into two types, including those covered by Resolution 315
Contracts have become a reality, and I will not exclude anyone from his place
The contract file is very “painful” and contains many problems that we want to solve
The Ministry of Industry contains 102,000 government employees
We can lay off more than 40,000 employees and put them to work in new factories
– There is an employee who works 7 hours and another who does not work, and this is unfair to some employees
The Ministry of Industry has only 5,610 engineers out of 102,000 employees
We own 104 out of 294 non-operational laboratories
– “Babylon Cement” factory built since 1954
The “Northern Fertilizers” plant is the newest factory in the Ministry of Industry and was destroyed due to the events of ISIS
The 104 idle factories are old and there is no point in repairing them
The “leather” factory in Karrada still manufactures shoes using the old methods
“Dab fertilizer” is not carcinogenic and there is no problem with it
– One of the journalists claimed that employees of the Ministry of Industry seized presidential palaces and presidential contracts
Member of the Parliamentary Security and Defense Committee, MP Ahmed Al-Musawi, during a televised interview:
Diyala was attacked by ISIS and unruly gangs
We called for a special session to discuss the situation in Diyala
– Diyala police failed to implement arrest warrants against wanted persons
Numerous security errors occurred in Diyala, including assassinations and arrests
– There is a failure of the holding units of the land in the areas where violations occurred in Diyala
Terrorism is working to restore sectarianism to Diyala
ISIS is the one who targeted the village of Bubali
The security forces obtained documents confirming that ISIS targeted the village of Bubali
The left side of Baquba is devoid of thermal cameras and security forces
We asked Al-Kazemi to install thermal cameras and additional forces, and he did not respond to us
We need a technical effort to control the situation in the rugged areas of Diyala
Former member of the Parliamentary Security and Defense Committee, Hamid al-Mutlaq, during a televised interview:
Al-Sudani’s steps in Diyala are good and promising
Firm application of the law is enough to control the situation in Diyala
Uncontrolled parties do not want stability in Diyala
The sheikhs and notables of the clans in Diyala must work to prevent the return of sectarianism
Parties working to spread chaos in Diyala and the rest of the provinces
