They are no longer afraid because they are United with the rest of the people of Iraq. Not only are they going to see things change at a rapid pace but the whole world will see. This is huge people, a United Iraq! Game over for the corrupt as a new Iraq is being born right before our very eyes. Kazemi is a wise smart man and he knew all he had to do was show the people just who’s who and the people would rise up with clinched fist.

Samson: Expert: Iraq Loses 10 Billion Dollars Annually From Its Oil Revenues
2nd August, 2022
The oil expert, Nabil Al-Marsoumi, warned on Tuesday of the continued loss of oil revenues in Iraq, reaching more than 10 billion dollars in the coming months.
Al-Marsoumi said, in a Facebook post seen by / the information / that “the volume of Iraq’s exports of crude oil last July was 3.3 million barrels per day, with a value of 10.6 billion dollars, and at a price of 103.6 dollars per barrel, and this means that Iraq’s total production of crude oil after adding Kurdistan’s production and the oil allocated For domestic consumption, it did not exceed 4.380 million barrels per day, while Iraq’s production quota from OPEC Plus for the month of July is 4.580 million barrels per day.”
He added, "Iraq is currently producing less than its production quota by about 200,000 barrels per day, meaning that the lost oil revenues resulting from Iraq's inability to produce its full production quota amounted in July to about 575 million dollars."
He explained that “the most important reasons for this decline in Iraqi oil production and exports of crude oil are attributed to the weak ability to export Iraqi oil to the south through the ports due to the old sea lines that were established in the seventies and the deterioration of two marine lines feeding the docks from the export station, which forced an oil company Basra to reduce pumping rates to the sidewalks by 25% from 70,000 to 54,000 barrels per hour.
He pointed out that "storage facilities in Basra, refineries and power stations are being filled, as port data showed that crude oil stocks in southern reservoirs have reached 6.8 million barrels, or 72% of the total. Its total amount of 9.5 million barrels. He pointed out that “replacing the old shipping lines takes about two years from signing the contract, and in light of this, Iraq’s production quota within OPEC Plus will rise from the current month of August to 4.651 million barrels per day, which will widen the gap between it and the current production to about 271 thousand barrels per day and will be reflected This is due to lost oil revenues, which will rise to 870 million dollars per month and 10.444 billion dollars annually.

Samson: Kurdistan Region Integrity refers nearly 140 corruption cases to the judiciary during 2022
2nd August, 2022
The Integrity Commission of Kurdistan Region renewed, on Tuesday, its invitation to the Judicial Council in the region to form a court specialized in looking into cases of financial and administrative corruption, revealing at the same time that dozens of corruption cases have been referred to the judiciary during the current year.
The head of the commission, Judge Ahmed Anwar, said in a press conference held today, "We stress the need to form a court dealing with corruption cases in the region," calling on the Supreme Judicial Council to take the corruption file seriously. He added that it is possible to send 200 to the judiciary during the current year, pointing to the low rate of corruption in the region. Judge Anwar said: We have a strategic plan to radically combat corruption
The Chairman of the Integrity Commission reviewed the statistical issues of the Commission's activities during the first half of 2022, saying that we recorded 548 cases during this period, noting that 138 cases were referred to the judiciary. He confirmed that 799 cases with the authority are still under investigation.
Judge Anwar considered that the sentences issued against those convicted of corruption cases are light, and do not rise with the size of the crimes they committed, so we ask the judiciary to expedite the formation of the competent corruption court. He continued by saying that during the past five years, 72 people of high ranks were referred to the courts for investigation in cases related to financial and administrative corruption, including 6 ministers, 6 deputy ministers, and a member of the Kurdistan Parliament.
