Between roughly 19:08 and 19:38 on 17 August, iNEWS (KSS — affiliated) published a run of items attributed to al-Sadkhan stating that oversight reports on corruption in Maysan government institutions had been filed, that a study of Maysan corruption files would be submitted to the prime minister's office, that investment companies were receiving billions for projects that do not exist, that foreign companies were not meeting Iraqi-labour quotas, and that oil companies were misleading regulators over foreign-worker numbers. The channel closed the run by announcing it was opening "the black box" on thousands of fictitious employees in the Ministry of Electricity. The rung holds at credible for what was said — a single channel, one attributed speaker, no independent line on the underlying allegations in the collected window.

A KSS-affiliated channel is claiming an oversight function over provincial contracting, oil-company labour and a ministry payroll, and says the resulting files will go to the prime minister's office — a route by which a faction's grievances become state paperwork.
