Watan TV (Badr Organization — affiliated media) posted four items in sequence overnight. It carried Ameer al-Daami saying the restoration of provincial councils was "one of the calamities of the Sudani government" and that "the constitution is a menu according to the mood of the political class" (الدستور منيو حسب مزاج الطبقة السياسية), tying this to the government's inability to pay salaries; it reported that "observers" say the parliamentary Martyrs' Committee "stumbled in performing its duties and failed to follow up disbursement of the cash allowance entitlements of martyrs' families"; it carried a speaker named as Arab saying "I possess corruption files in the Ministry of Industry and am fully prepared to hand them to the Integrity Commission and the Anti-Corruption Court"; and it carried MP Muqdad al-Khafaji asking whether "the Iraqi air defence system is at the disposal of American forces." The four items span provincial administration, martyr compensation, an anti-corruption referral route and a sovereignty claim over a security function.
