Parliamentary Criticism Over Privatization of Traffic Departments and Rising Administrative Costs for Citizens

MP Mohammed Jassim Al-Khafaji directed sharp criticism at the management mechanism of traffic departments in the country, noting that outsourcing these departments to investment during the previous government's tenure has increased the financial burden on citizens, with a single transaction now costing 35,000 Iraqi dinars. Al-Khafaji confirmed his intention to reveal the details of these contracts, which he described as unfair. This statement comes amidst ongoing parliamentary discussions regarding the feasibility of privatizing service institutions, with rising demands for a comprehensive review of investment contracts to ensure the alleviation of financial burdens.
