Baghdad Today - Reports
The government made up its mind after replacing hundreds of general directors in all its ministries, institutions and agencies, in a procedure that Iraq had not witnessed since 2003.
On May 2, the Council of Ministers approved a wide package of reform decisions, which included the approval of the dismissal of about 60 officials with the rank of director general in various ministries, as part of what it considered the first batch of a comprehensive change in the positions of general managers in the country.
However, the announced number is much less than what was revealed by the government spokesman, Basem Al-Awadi, as he told (Baghdad Today) on May 3, one day after the Council of Ministers’ decision that the evaluation process for general directors affected 322 general directors out of 439 directors, which is the total number of general directors in all ministries. Iraq's 23 ministries.
It is noteworthy that this evaluation gave the government an opportunity to create a huge database for the Iraqi state on its general managers for the first time in 20 years.
Al-Awadi says, "The state now has a comprehensive database of general managers after their evaluation, which is an event that happens for the first time after 2003."
The dismissal decisions included general directors in various ministries and agencies inside Baghdad and the various governorates of the country, which is likely to have taken place with a political consensus between the blocs and parties as the government seeks to avoid expected waves of protest with the advent of the blazing summer, especially with the continued poor supply of electricity and water to the regions, especially in the cities of the south. most densely populated.
justify and clarify
The government decision was not surprising - to some extent - but it was exciting in terms of fulfilling the promise of Prime Minister Muhammad Shia'a al-Sudani to evaluate the performance of officials at the level of ministers, general managers and special grades, six months after the formation of the government.
Where the Council of Ministers said in the change decision on May 2, that "as a commitment from the government to implement the vocabulary of administrative reform within the priorities of work, the Council approved the recommendations of the General Managers Evaluation Committee, which included transferring the general managers who did not obtain a positive evaluation, to a lower degree than the one that was He occupies it before his appointment as Director General," noting that their replacements will be from the same workforce within the ministry from which they were dismissed.
It seems that the government is serious about “reform and change,” as an official in it said, “The total number of general managers who will be dismissed exceeds 400 general managers in various state ministries,” and stressed that “the issued decision included 57 general directors from them and from several ministries, and there will be decisions Again, for others, in a way that the replacement is gradual and does not cause confusion in institutions and ministries.
"pulse reaction"
The government's action is not without an attempt to uncover reactions at the political and popular level in taking bold steps that were not preceded by its predecessors from previous governments, including the expected ministerial reshuffle.
And the government official indicates that by saying: "These changes come before the Sudanese undertake any partial cabinet reshuffle in his government."
He points out that "most of the dismissed general managers are directors of general directorates in the governorates who have suspicions of corruption, or they spent years, some of them up to 12 years, without change," stressing that "this would not have happened had it not been for achieving political consensus on it."
"Political support and gaining the confidence of the street"
Nor does this change include an attempt to win the people's trust and street support for a young government that is trying to restore this confidence in the political elite and improve its image after two decades of security turmoil, the absence of political stability, and the people's grudge against the political class, which was manifested in the great reluctance in the recent parliamentary elections.
A "test balloon"... The ministerial reshuffle is the most important step
Perhaps the change of directors was a "test balloon" implemented by the government to monitor the reactions of the political forces and the extent of their commitment to pledges to support the government, especially those affiliated with the State Administration Coalition that formed the government and includes the forces of the coordination framework and the Sunni and Kurdish parties that shared positions in their various positions and ranks over the past years.
The cabinet reshuffle will be one of the most important challenges facing the prime minister, but all indications indicate that he is determined to do so.
And the leaks indicate that the expected amendment may affect 5 to 6 ministers after the government evaluation committee completes its tasks in this regard - amid leaks about some of the names of the ministers, but the advisor to the Prime Minister, Diaa Al-Nasseri, denied this and said that what the communication platforms and the media are circulating is "incorrect" and indicated in a tweet He tweeted that "evaluating the performance of the ministers will take some time, as decided by the prime minister."
He stressed that "the names of the (ministers) circulated are incorrect, and their aim is to confuse the political situation and put pressure on them," pointing out that "evaluating the performance of general managers took a great deal of time and required checking nearly 300,000 documents with various bodies, the judiciary and integrity."
