Says Yasiri "This percentage is very small, we want the judiciary to speed up the implementation of issues in order to communicate with the body and keep up with their work. This issue hurts a lot."
He added that he had taken bold steps to send investigators to open all ministries files in search of the most basic signs of corruption, as suggested for the first time , a travel ban on senior officials, and forced other officials to be more transparent in terms of financial their resources. But in all the while facing constant criticism from the political blocs that they use to use its influence and control over the ministries in favor of its supporters and their preference to others.
It descended Yasiri from the Shiite community, where Sunnis and Kurds accuse him of favoring his community and at the same time accused by other Shiites to prosecute the people of his community.
One day , a senior official visited him in his office in the Green Zone, Yasiri says , without specifying the official identity , "he said to me: all those who Ohalthm to eliminate are Shiites, there must be a balance, there must be a year in response, I told him we do not confuse this cocktail".
The Prime Minister declared war on corruption but faced fierce resistance from politicians, including some members of the bloc who resisted efforts to exempt political factions of the leaders of the top positions and replaced with others of technocrats.
