Baghdad / Obelisk Al-Hadath: While many projects since the previous government eras in Iraq suffer from contract corruption, causing waste of public money, the Kurdish representative, Sarwa Abdul Wahed, revealed great corruption in the cemetery of the Assyrian Church of the East, which costs the state more than 19 million dinars daily.
Abdel Wahed mentioned in a tweet on Twitter that there is great corruption in cleaning the cemetery of the Assyrian Church of the East, as the cleaning costs the state daily 19,500,000 nineteen million five hundred thousand dinars.
And she added: With the follow-up of the matter, no one saw the cleaning teams, but rather the cleaning of the cemetery was for one day only by removing the bushes and the waste inside it, indicating that the governor of Baghdad gives what he does not have and spends the state’s money according to his mood.
And inflating the costs required to implement the project beyond the real value of the project is one of the widespread corrupt methods.
Contracts are also signed between officials and executing companies through illegal means. Bribes are paid to officials and employees to change contracts, stop the project, or pass the project in violation.
The capital, Baghdad, includes dozens of Christian churches spread throughout its parts, as the Christian community has been present in Baghdad since its establishment in the Abbasid era.
Currently, Baghdad includes the largest Christian community in Iraq, and Christians in Baghdad consist of several denominations, most of whom are Chaldean and Syriac Catholics, but there is a large gathering of the Assyrian Eastern and Syriac Orthodox churches, with the presence of the largest Protestant gathering in Iraq in Baghdad.
