Al-Ahad TV airs dual-salary demand on Foreign Ministry

WHAT HAPPENED

On 16 August 2026, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) aired two closely worded items in the name of Al-Baldawi concerning Foreign Ministry adviser Wael Ghassan Hamza. The first asked for verification of a suspicion that he drew two salaries, from Iraq and from Britain, during a secondment; the second asked the Foreign Ministry to specify the legal basis for continuing his Iraqi salary while assigned to a foreign entity. The collected items do not identify Al-Baldawi’s own affiliation and do not establish the pay facts.
