rafidainscope - Parliamentary sources in the Oil, Gas, and Natural Resources Committee have revealed pressures and policies aimed at obstructing anti-corruption efforts within the Ministry of Oil. The sources confirmed that the Minister of Oil is facing an escalating campaign

after rejecting official nominations to manage the Oil Products Distribution Company. The rejection was based on the candidates representing the same entities that previously managed the company and were linked to figures accused of corruption. The sources explained that parties

whose corrupt interests were curtailed are launching a fierce attack against the Minister, noting that relying on acting management for vital departments currently is a temporary measure to withstand pressures until competent and credible figures are officially selected.
