A trillion dollars and another 111 billion dollars were wasted by the debts of Maliki's two states


Revealed a member of the Finance Committee in the Iraqi Council of Representatives for conducting a search through which the total amount spent by Iraq for the period of 2004 2017. Majid al-Tamimi told Basnews: "These expenses amounted to about one trillion US dollars, including the amount of operational budget and investment during that period." "Most of this amount has been wasted because of corruption." Tamimi added that "compared to the amounts disbursed the size of service projects and the standard of living of the individual is not at the required level and there is a huge difference."
"Iraq borrowed another $ 111 billion during this period," he said, attributed to the failure of the country's fiscal and economic policy and rampant corruption in the country's joints.
Tamimi said he spent 40 trillion dinars a year on salaries, but the operation was also marred by corruption, with people receiving 3 to 4 salaries at the same time, while no other Iraqis have any source of livelihood.
"In 2014, 22 per cent of the Iraqi population was below the poverty line, while in 2016 the percentage had risen to 41 per cent, especially in the areas occupied by Da'ash," Majid al-Tamimi said.
He went on to say, in the southern provinces, despite the existence of relative safety and the presence of financial sources, but the rate of poverty is very high, especially in the city of Basra.
Al-Tamimi praised the biometric system of salaries approved in the Kurdistan Region, where it can benefit from this system in the rest of Iraq, too, to prevent imaginary grades. Pointing to the presence of 16 thousand people receive two or three salaries only in three ministries, the external and financial and internal.
This revealed the reform steps carried out by the current Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Abadi, the legacy of heavy and terrible devastation caused by his predecessor Nuri al-Maliki, where there were terrible facts about corruption and abuses that reached the level of crimes in the administration of power in Iraq.
Perhaps one of the most important revelations is the great imbalance in the Iraqi Ministry of Defense and the formations and the military teams affiliated to it during the mandates of al-Maliki, where it was revealed from the results of preliminary and quick investigations that there are at least 50 thousand soldiers, on paper without having a presence in the camps or the Iraqi military bases Zhou What they call the Space Army.
