On 16–17 September, Al-Janoub TV (Harakat al-Jihad wal-Bina — official) carried an Iraqi contractor appeal for unpaid entitlements, followed by an Iraqi Contractors Union vice president’s allegation that previous governments owed more than IQD 40 trillion for work that included dangerous areas. The channel then quoted the union’s unidentified president saying the Finance Ministry had been given a deadline and that the dues would be paid within ten days; neither the ministry nor another authority confirmed the debt or payment timetable.
