Iraq PM Proposes Major Reforms to Tackle Corruption

Iraq PM Proposes Major Reforms to Tackle Corruption
Alwaght- Iraq's cabinet has approved by consensus a package of major reforms proposed by Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to tackle corruption and improve services.
"The cabinet unanimously approved the first package of reforms presented by... Abadi in an extraordinary session," his office said in a Sunday statement.

But at least some of the changes apparently require amendments to the constitution, which would necessitate action by parliament before they take effect.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi called for several reforms, including abolishing the current post of his predecessor Nuri al-Maliki, in response to weeks of demonstrations against corruption and poor services.
One of the most drastic proposals outlined by Abadi was the call to scrap the posts of vice president and deputy prime minister "immediately".
Abadi's reform plan calls for a major overhaul of the way senior officials are selected, saying that "political and sectarian quotas" should end, and the candidates chosen by a committee appointed by the premier.
The changes such as abolishing the posts would apparently require constitutional amendments, which would necessitate parliamentary action.
The measure is based on a reform plan called for by Iraq's most senior Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, on August 7. The top  Islamic authority urged the premier to resolve internal issues in the government.
The premier must be more "daring and courageous" in his efforts to reform the government, Ayatollah Sistani said, calling on Abadi to strike "with an iron fist anyone who is tampering with the people's money."
