Parliamentary Integrity: We are determined to activate the laws in force to combat corruption

Information / Baghdad… Member of the Parliamentary Integrity Committee, Hamid Al-Shablawi, confirmed on Tuesday the failure of the supervisory authorities to implement anti-corruption laws, indicating that his committee seeks to amend the anti-corruption laws.

Al-Shablawi said in an interview with the Maalouma Agency, “There are joint efforts with the executive authority in order to activate the laws in force to combat corruption.”

He added, “The laws enacted after 2003 and until now have not been implemented by successive governments due to the lack of real implementation mechanisms to fight corruption.”

He pointed out that “Parliament is determined to establish clear mechanisms to properly implement the upcoming anti-corruption laws to serve the public interest,” calling for “more efforts to activate the effective anti-corruption laws.”

A member of the Parliamentary Integrity Committee, Doha Al-Qasir, had confirmed in a previous interview with Al-Maalouma that her committee was heading towards legislating laws that support the Integrity Commission, noting that the legislative and judicial structure is an integrated system to combat corruption.
