Representatives called for amendments to investment and contracting with companies laws, work to reduce "routine" in investment laws and prevent the referral of strategic projects to "unqualified" companies, which are among the reasons for the failure of projects in the country.
A member of the Parliamentary Services and Reconstruction Committee, Ahmed Al-Sharmani, said in an interview with “Al-Sabah”: “There are many companies currently granting licenses to establish large projects, and they are unqualified companies and their classifications are incorrect.” He added that “routine is also one of the obstacles, when the contractor requests The first and second advances are in the stages of completion, the routine is the one that hinders the speed of completion, so these old mechanisms leave work on the project and the project enters the stage of extinction and 20% of the project is not completed.
And he indicated that "the real obstructions and obstacles to the completion of projects are the routine and the classification of companies, and we asked the Minister of Housing to take bold and courageous steps and bypass the obstructive routine and administrative obstacles that destroyed ministerial projects in the governorates, and greater powers should be granted to the governors and under the supervision of the Iraqi Parliament, each deputy according to his governorate." As well as oversight of the provincial councils when they are formed.
Al-Sharmani explained, "Among the priorities of the Services and Reconstruction Committee, a plan has been prepared to follow up lagging ministerial projects, and we have conducted field tours to several governorates, and we will continue these tours to the Iraqi governorates to see the service reality, as well as we call for amendments to the investment and contracting with companies laws, because the administrative delays remain." And the boring routine will not witness the completion of projects correctly and at specific times. For his part, a member of the Investment and Development Committee, Muhammad al-Ziyadi, explained in an interview with "Al-Sabah" that "the Integrity Commission, within its law in force, must follow up on delay, which falls within cases of corruption and abuse of public money."
He stressed that "the people's demands are to see clear steps that address the delay in projects and the reason for the lack of seriousness in their completion, and it must be recognized that the delay in completing these important and strategic projects was the result of weak law and the prevailing conditions, which led to an abuse of public money, just as there are corrupt people standing behind these delays in completing projects.
Al-Ziyadi stated, "The oversight authorities must initiate criminal cases and take their real role in prosecuting the corrupt and recovering the billions of dollars lost due to this corruption. We do not want to be content with media statements, because the budget submitted for three years will witness the loss of many times the previous wasted funds if measures are not taken against those involved in the corruption." Those lagging projects and their failure.
