A number of specialists in the political field saw that one of the most important ways to correct the tortuous path in the anti-corruption file is; Work on reproducing the successful experiences of developed countries by shifting to "state governance", and making all official governmental and private departments and institutions pass through the gate of the Tax Authority, in addition to restoring the work of the offices of general inspectors and repairing them if they were exposed to violations, noting that the government's work in combating corruption seemed clear He indicates optimism that Iraq has progressed two degrees to rank 23 in the Corruption Perceptions Index, and that 157 out of 190 countries are in this regard.
Omar Al-Nasser, the policy-making official in the Bidaya movement, said in an interview with Al-Sabah: "It is not possible to go to eliminate corruption completely, because the world's greatest, most advanced and transparent countries have varying rates in this joint, and suffer from fluctuations in its pace in most cases." Institutions”, indicating that “the shift to state governance and making all the bodies of departments and official governmental and private institutions pass through the gate of the Tax Authority, is a process of reproducing the experiences of developed countries such as (Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Britain, Austria, Switzerland and others).”
Al-Nasser called for the reinstatement of "the offices of the inspectors general and their reform if they were exposed to violations or delays, and it is considered a healthy case for building an oversight arsenal that supports the performance of the House of Representatives in re-reviewing and evaluating towards correcting the tortuous course in the anti-corruption file.
"
He noted that "today, it is necessary to take into account the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI), which placed Iraq in the 57th rank out of 190 countries in this regard, and its advancement by two degrees to 23rd place is a step forward for optimism, because this will in turn achieve qualitative leaps in several fields."
In addition, the head of the "East Center for Strategic Studies and Information", Ali Mahdi Al-Araji, said in an interview with "Al-Sabah": "We must point out that corruption has become a social phenomenon that is almost natural in Iraq because of its great spread," adding: " Yes, there are attempts to curb corruption, but they are few and shy and do not reach the lowest level of ambition, but they do exist.
He stressed that "to eliminate corruption, there must be effective systems and mechanisms upon which the executive authority relies in order to control and limit its spread or stop some of its manifestations," noting that "before initiating treatment, the state must lay strong foundations to prevent this disease and its occurrence from By amending laws and activating some strict penalties and actually applying them, provided that the matter applies to everyone without exception, and then work to combat corruption and punish the corrupt directly, otherwise the authority of corruption remains stronger than the authority of the state.
Al-Araji pointed out that "what we have discussed above does not come from a vacuum, so we must stand on a number of joints, the most important of which is the selection of honest and efficient leaders within the scope of work, and the issuance of new packages and laws that prevent corrupt people from manipulation, as well as drawing up and adopting a transparent strategy in working in an efficient manner." General with activating the role of the oversight body, including the offices of the inspectors general, provided that these offices are subject to control and audit for fear of a gap in this security wall, and here the matter turns instead of a supervisory system into an administrative system that conceals corruption.
