Sadiqoun presses Foreign Ministry over appointments and funds

WHAT HAPPENED

Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) this afternoon aired Sadiqoun (AAH) spokesman Mohammed al-Baldaoui saying the bloc had documents of major violations in the Foreign Ministry, naming adviser Wael Ghassan and ambassador Luqman al-Fayli, and that it had written the competent authorities to recover wasted funds and would raise further files. The same channel carried political analyst Mohammed al-Yasiri saying Baldaoui’s question on Fayli’s reappointment after 2016 was well placed, that one party holding the ministry without rotation is not logical, and that parliament should question or host the foreign minister over dual salaries and other breaches. A later Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) clip restated Baldaoui’s demand that those responsible for wasting public money inside the ministry be held accountable.

    We obtained documents and evidence revealing major violations in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We will raise other files relating to the ministry. The files of Foreign Ministry adviser Wael Ghassan and ambassador Luqman al-Fayli constitute a major legal breach in the ministry. We wrote to the competent authorities to follow these files and recover the wasted funds.

    حصلنا على وثائق وأدلة تكشف وجود خروقات كبيرة في وزارة الخارجية سنعمل على طرح ملفات أخرى تتعلق بوزارة الخارجية ملفا المستشار في وزارة الخارجية وائل غسان والسفير لقمان الفيلي يشكلان خرقا قانونيا كبيرا بالوزارة خاطبنا الجهات المعنية لمتابعة هذه الملفات المهمة واسترداد الأموال المهدورة

    Deputy Mohammed al-Baldaoui’s demand of the Foreign Ministry regarding reappointing Luqman al-Fayli as ambassador after his service ended in 2016 was well placed. It is not logical for a given party to assume the Foreign Ministry without rotating it to another party or component. Parliament is required to question or host the foreign minister. The necessary explanations must be given regarding pay

    مطالبة النائب محمد البلداوي الخارجية بشأن إعادة تعيين لقمان الفيلي سفيرا بعد انتهاء خدمته عام 2016 جاءت في محلها من غير المنطقي تسنم وزارة الخارجية من قبل حزب معين دون تدويرها لحزب أو مكون آخر البرلمان مطالب باستجواب أو استضافة وزير الخارجية يجب تقديم الإيضاحات اللازمة بشأن صرف رواتب مزدوجة من العراق وبريطانيا للمستشار وائل غسان حمزة

WHY IT MATTERS

Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) paired the bloc spokesman’s two named personnel files with an argument about which party holds the Foreign Ministry, a wider subject than the appointments alone.
