Nujaba TV names Sudani in corruption line, presses ruling coalition

Al-Nujaba TV (Nujaba — official) called former minister Haytham al-Miyahi corrupt, extended the accusation conditionally to Prime Minister al-Sudani, and demanded the State Administration Coalition account for "astronomical billions"

WHAT HAPPENED

Al-Nujaba TV (Nujaba — official owned media) posted two items on its #A_Useful_Sentence programme on 4 August, at 20:03 and 20:45. The earlier said Iraq holds huge wealth and "astronomical billions" whose spending and destination are unknown while Iraqis live below the poverty line, and put questions to the State Administration Coalition demanding an answer. The later called Haytham al-Miyahi "a corrupt former minister" and added that "if the reports are true, al-Sudani is corrupt too." Both lines come from the same channel within forty-two minutes; no documentation of the alleged reports or funds accompanies either.

WHO CARRIED IT
  1. Al-Nujaba TVNujaba — official owned media04 Aug, 23:03

    Huge wealth and astronomical billions — we do not know how they were spent or where they ended up, while the Iraqi lives below the poverty line. Questions for the State Administration Coalition that want an answer.

    ثروات ضخمة ومليارات فلكية لا نعلم كيف صُرفت واستقرت، والعراقي يعيش تحت خط الفقر. أسئلة لتحالف إدارة الدولة تريد إجابة.

    Haytham al-Miyahi is a corrupt former minister, and if the reports are true, then al-Sudani is corrupt too.

WHY IT MATTERS

Nujaba is using its official broadcaster to build a corruption case against al-Sudani and the State Administration Coalition without producing the underlying allegation, which puts reputational pressure on the government from a faction whose peers are currently voicing accommodation.
