Abdulmahdi takes a step by appointing six Iraqi officials with intractable positions
29th July, 2019


The victory coalition revealed on Monday the names submitted by the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers to the Parliament to vote on the names of candidates for positions of special grades,including the Governor of the Central Bank to the House of Representatives after the approval of the Council of Ministers. "Special grades" means lower government posts than ministries, which are estimated at 2,000 by heads of agencies, deputy ministers, advisers, heads of missions and general directors.

Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi has pledged to end proxy appointments and assign independent figures to a scene that has become increasingly intransigent to previous governments. Political parties and blocs are required to be subject to quotas, just like the government. "The cabinet a few days ago voted on a number of names to fill important positions in the special grades, and then turned those names to parliament for a vote," said the leader of the coalition Ali al-Sunaid.

Al-Sanaid said that "these names have started their work officially after the vote of the Council of Ministers, and now manages the positions of the proxy, and is waiting for the House of Representatives to vote on them, to be pure," asserting that "these names were chosen by consensus and political agreement, away from the basic laws and standards of occupancy So positions." Recommended to the Secretariat General of the Council of Ministers, a recommendation to Parliament to vote on the names of candidates for positions of special grades, including the Governor of the Central Bank to the House of Representatives after the approval of the Council of Ministers.
