Information/Baghdad...
Voices calling for exposing corruption in Iraqi ports, taking legal action, holding negligent parties accountable and referring them to the judiciary to receive their just punishment have become louder. Fingers have been pointed at the federal government for its negligence and failure to take action against some corrupt parties, especially since some representatives have revealed the waste of money, major corruption and manipulation in the ports, in addition to the fact that some violations have significant human damage.

Independent MP Yasser Al-Hussaini accused the federal government of ignoring the corruption file of the General Company for Ports of Iraq, saying in his interview with /Al-Maalouma/, "The most dangerous corruption file in the Iraqi government is the file of the General Company for Ports of Iraq, where there is a waste of money and a lack of engagement with the voices calling for stopping this corruption."
He added, "The government has ignored the ports corruption file, although the ministerial program stipulates combating corruption, as there are corruption files that will not be investigated even with the end of the current government's term, especially in the General Ports Company."
Al-Hussaini called on the government to "pay attention to the voices calling for withdrawing the current management of the aforementioned company and opening a fair judicial investigation to look into the number of identified violations."
The head of the Parliamentary Security and Defense Committee, Karim Aliwi Al-Muhammadawi, revealed to Al-Maalouma that there are suspicions of corruption in the manipulation of car models and customs clearance at ports and border crossings.
He added, "There is a lack of oversight operations and a lack of coordination between the security and oversight agencies within the Iraqi ports and border crossings, as the "competent oversight agencies are required to play their role in reducing suspicions of corruption and preserving public money."
On the other hand, MP Alaa Al-Haidari, a member of the Iraqi Ports Corruption Investigation Committee, said: “We were surprised to find a shipment of about 20,000 tons of yellow corn that was rotten and spoiled inside a ship coming from Australia. There were approvals from some government agencies to unload this shipment, so we were surprised to find that about 6,000 tons of yellow corn were unloaded into the warehouses of a Turkish factory used to receive cooking oil in the port of Umm Qasr.”
He added: “We found that the contract included that the yellow corn coming from Australia was used for oil, and after it was spoiled, its quality was changed to animal feed because it was exposed to mold. After reviewing this material, it became clear that it was not suitable for animal feed or for cooking oil. The opinion of the Parliamentary Order 160 Committee for Investigating Port Corruption was to reserve and inform the Director of the Southern Ports and the Customs Administration not to empty the remaining shipment into these warehouses. However, the information received indicates that approximately 14,000 tons of this spoiled shipment were emptied into these warehouses,” stressing that “every party that gave approval to empty this shipment will bear responsibility for the negligence, and an investigation will be opened into this dangerous file.”
In a related context, Basra Governor Advisor Mohammed Al-Zaidawi stated that “the Iraqi Ports Company has not risen to the required level and there has been a demand to replace those in charge of its management,” saying: “It is a farce that Iraq has been exposed to corrupt agreements and the waste of $120 million in the file of the breakwater at the Grand Faw Port. Those who took over the Faw Port file must comply and be held accountable to the judiciary, especially since some of the stalled contracts and projects have suspicions of corruption, but (no one listens).” End 25N
