A member of the former Parliamentary Economy and Investment Committee, Nada Shaker Jawdat, told "Earth News", "Very large funds are allocated in Iraq's budget with each year that goes between corruption and waste due to poor planning and management, and this is the reason for the loss of budget funds over the past years without any projects." Concretely large on the ground by the citizen.”
She added that "the countries of the region and the world, specifically the Arab countries, depended largely and mainly on investment in the development of infrastructure and reconstruction, and this matter is being lost by Iraq frankly, for several reasons, including security instability, which pushes major companies not to take investment projects in Iraq, in addition to The complex procedures in referring projects to investment and the accompanying corruption and extortion operations.”
And she stressed "the need to build Iraq's budgets, according to strategic plans, not according to traditional plans, which are always a budget of expenditures and not a budget of projects and services, although there are large financial allocations for the establishment of giant projects in various fields."
