Iraq’s CF backs anti-corruption drive – Shafaq News

Shafaq News- Baghdad

Iraq’s Shiite Coordination Framework (CF), the largest bloc
in Parliament, reaffirmed on Monday its support for government and judicial
measures to combat corruption, protect public funds, and strengthen the rule of
law, according to a statement.

During a meeting at the office of Badr Organization
Secretary-General Hadi Al-Amiri, attended by Supreme Judicial Council President
Faiq Zaidan and Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi, the CF also reviewed official and
public preparations for the funeral of Iran’s late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei,
calling for broad participation in the ceremony.

As Parliament resumed sessions following its legislative
recess, the bloc called for activating oversight mechanisms and accelerating
the approval of key legislation.

On June 28, Iraqi authorities launched Dawn Crackdown
(Sawlat Al-Fajr), a nationwide anti-corruption campaign under Al-Zaidi’s
direction targeting current and former officials, lawmakers, politicians,
business figures, ministers, directors-general, provincial governors, and other
suspects.

On Sunday, Tasmeem Alliance head Amer Al-Fayez revealed to
Shafaq News that anti-corruption efforts would be on the agenda of the CF’s
regular meeting.
