[size=52]The “Framework Factions” appeal to Washington to stop the “Katyusha” and the Sudanese are chasing the expenses of the presidency[/size]
[size=45]Baghdad / Tamim Al-Hassan[/size]
[size=45]The new Prime Minister, Muhammad Al-Sudani, seeks to maneuver some of the files that he intends to address during his tenure in power, trying to evade the restrictions of the coordination framework that determines his movements.[/size]
[size=45]It is believed that Al-Sudani may open the gates of hell for him in a sensitive file that his predecessors tried to get close to, which is the file of the allocations of the three presidencies and senior officials.[/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, the prime minister is trying to avoid an important advantage he lacks, which is international acceptance, to improve the image of some "frameworkers" by opening relations with Washington and the Gulf.[/size]
[size=45]The new cabinet faced a barrage of criticism due to the educational certificates of some ministers, which may push the Sudanese to reshuffle the cabinet in the first 3 months of the government's life.[/size]
[size=45]But this measure, according to some sources, may relate to a certain category of ministers, and they are the personalities who were said to have been chosen by Al-Sudani of his own free will.[/size]
[size=45]In a television interview, the head of the Badr bloc in Parliament, led by Hadi al-Amiri, said that his party is the one who holds the minister who nominated him and not the prime minister accountable, and in a period longer than 3 months, which is being talked about to replace part of the booth.[/size]
[size=45]And the head of the bloc, Abbas Al-Zamili, confirmed in an interview on a local station: "The Badr bloc has borne the Ministry of Transport, and we will bear the minister's work and evaluate it after a year."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Zamili added: “If a high-level group fails in the Ministry of Finance, there is no political party that can bear this failure; Because it is not affiliated with a party, while if the Minister of Transport fails, we will bear his responsibility, and so do the rest of the ministerial portfolios that are in the name of partisan ministerial.”[/size]
[size=45]These statements reveal the restrictions that were revealed during the stage of selecting ministers more than two weeks ago, and the contradiction in the claims of the coordination framework that he gave Al-Sudani a free hand in nominating ministers.[/size]
[size=45]According to the official version of the government formation, the new ministers are of two types: partisan and technocrats, which is a questionable narrative.[/size]
[size=45]According to that narrative, Al-Sudani was the one who chose the ministers of interior, electricity, finance, and water resources, in return for 8 party ministers who shared the framework.[/size]
[size=45]However, this division had been questioned about its credibility, and information leaked out that the four names affiliated with Al-Sudani were nominated by the parties under the "technocrats" banner.[/size]
[size=45]It seems, according to the events that took place in the first days of the government, that there is tension between the Sudanese and the coordination framework, especially with the issue of "restructuring the ministries."[/size]
[size=45]For the second time, the prime minister affirms: “No job changes or modifications are made to the ministries’ structure at present, while evaluating the performance of employees.”[/size]
[size=45]He added, according to a statement to his office, that Al-Sudani directed that: “The selection of the director of the minister’s office shall be from the employees working in the same ministry exclusively.”[/size]
[size=45]Sources had revealed that the Prime Minister objected to attempts to retaliate against Sadrist officials, led by parties in the coordination framework.[/size]
[size=45]It is noteworthy that the first minister who took measures that I understood to be against the movement's employees was a minister among those nominated by Al-Sudani.[/size]
[size=45]And last Saturday, on his first appointment to the ministry, the Minister of Interior, Abdul Amir al-Shammari, canceled previous orders assigning and appointing officials in the ministry.[/size]
[size=45]According to leaks, the administrative order, which was spread on news sites and bears the signature of the minister, was intended for former Sadrist MP Hussein Al-Awadi, who holds the position of senior undersecretary in the ministry.[/size]
[size=45]And the day before yesterday, he had changed the Minister of Oil nominated from the State of Law, Hayan Abdul Ghani, the director of his office, and he is the first minister to take this step.[/size]
[size=45]The widening of the differences[/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, it is expected that the intersections between the prime minister and the coordination framework and the rest of the political forces will expand, especially with Al-Sudani's intention to open the file of allocations and salaries of the three presidencies.[/size]
[size=45]According to well-informed political sources who spoke to Al-Mada, "the Sudanese have an item under the name of social justice in his government program dedicated to the issue of salaries and allowances for senior employees."[/size]
[size=45]According to those sources, the prime minister "is seeking to reduce the salaries and allowances of these groups and reduce protections."[/size]
[size=45]According to the Finance Committee, the total salaries of the three presidencies range from 70 to 100 million dinars per month, for each of the Prime Minister, the President of the Republic and the Speaker of Parliament.[/size]
[size=45]As for the salaries of ministers, they range from 9 to 11 million dinars per month, while each member of Parliament receives more than 7 million dinars per month.[/size]
[size=45]According to the last budget approved in 2021, the allocations for the three presidencies have been cut until they reached more than one trillion dinars, after they were estimated at 4 trillion dinars in 2020.[/size]
[size=45]According to the figures for that budget published by the Ministry of Finance, it showed that the salaries of the Presidency of the Republic only amounted to 35.639 billion dinars, and the House of Representatives 228.141 billion dinars.[/size]
[size=45]As for the General Secretariat and the Prime Minister’s Office, salaries amounted to 81.176 billion dinars, bringing the total salaries to only 344.956 billion dinars.[/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, the number of employees in these departments is 5,926, with the average monthly salary for one employee reaching 4.850 million dinars.[/size]
[size=45]The first prime minister who had started attempts to rationalize expenditures was Haider al-Abadi in the reform packages that he approved in 2015 and 2016, and at that time he faced criticism and obstacles from political forces.[/size]
[size=45]At that time, there were 28 regiments to protect officials, including former officials, and their expenditures (the regiments) (salaries, fuel expenses and other requirements) were estimated at about one billion dollars annually.[/size]
[size=45]And last Sunday, during Al-Sudani's visit to the headquarters of the Joint Operations Command in Baghdad, he directed "to reduce the protections of security leaders."[/size]
[size=45]Stop the missiles![/size]
[size=45]Informed sources say that the prime minister will try to "maneuver the files", especially with regard to the foreign policy file, in exchange for passing other issues such as the provision of presidencies' allocations.[/size]
[size=45]Those sources indicate that the government has begun sending signals to "prevent missiles against diplomatic bodies and US interests in Iraq," which were previously extensively targeted.[/size]
[size=45]Since his assignment, Al-Sudani met 3 times with the US ambassador to Baghdad, Alina Romanowski, in less than 3 weeks.[/size]
[size=45]And Al-Sudani, according to the sources, "wants to preserve the gains of his predecessor, Mustafa Al-Kazemi, in developing relations with Saudi Arabia."[/size]
[size=45]The Saudi ambassador in Baghdad, Abdul Aziz Al-Shammari, had visited Al-Sudani at his workplace after the latter obtained the parliament's vote to head the government.[/size]
[size=45]With these files, Al-Sudani, quoting those sources, "improves the image of some frameworks accused of targeting embassies and hostility to the Gulf and who own well-known factions within the Shiite bloc."[/size]
[size=45]The banners of attacks on those sites stopped, and Al-Sudani is making a double effort in this file, as Shiite parties had admitted in previous statements to (Al-Mada) that “the prime minister - then candidate - Muhammad Al-Sudani has no external acceptability, unlike his internal acceptability.”[/size]
[size=45]On the other hand, some of the Sadrists' views may be extreme in attacking the coordinating framework regarding the foreign policy file.[/size]
[size=45]The current news websites are promoting that "the framework will cancel the law criminalizing normalization with Israel," which is the only law after the food security law passed by the Sadrist movement's deputies before resigning last June.[/size]
