Watan TV (Badr Organization — affiliated) posted two accountability items within fourteen minutes on the afternoon of 5 August. The first reproduced a letter from MP Jabr Muhammad Kadhim al-Mutairi to the prime minister citing a Ministry of Oil reply on a contract for 49 consultants at the Karbala refinery at 57 million dollars a year and a refinery operating contract at 18 million dollars a year, asking whether the figures are reasonable and requesting a high committee to investigate. The second carried Masoud Haider addressing the judiciary, the government and the Integrity Commission to "audit these files involving hundreds of billions of dollars in the Sudani government and stop the looting covered by laws and decisions"; the letter image carries a 2023 date, so the document is older than the post.

“Al-Mutairi to the head of government: two contracts with inflated amounts in the Ministry of Oil, Karbala refinery — we await the "measures" … a contract for 49 consultants at the Karbala refinery for 57 million dollars a year … are these amounts reasonable?!”
المطيري لرئيس الحكومة عقدين مبالغ بهما في وزارة النفط مصفى كربلاء ننتظر "الاجراءات" … عقد لـ49 استشارياً في مصفى كربلاء بمبلغ 57 مليون دولار سنوياً … فهل هذه المبالغ منطقية؟!
An affiliated outlet is putting named oil-sector contract figures and a hundreds-of-billions framing in front of the judiciary and the Integrity Commission, which is the channel through which contract and ministry decisions are reversed rather than merely criticised.
