 The permanent representative also revealed, "The government is keen to release salaries without delay, compensate the families of the martyrs and wounded demonstrators, and form a committee of experts to support the Independent High Electoral Commission in its efforts to organize early elections, and the formation of a special committee to prepare for strategic negotiations with the United States of America."   
Bahr al-Ulum expressed "Iraq’s desire to renew the mandate of the UNAMI mission for one year."  
  
On Wednesday, the UN Security Council welcomed the government of Mustafa Al-Kazemi, who won the confidence of Parliament, pledging to support Iraq and continue the war against "terrorism".  
A UN Security Council statement, followed by "Nass," (May 13, 2020), said, "The Security Council welcomes the formation of a new Iraqi government headed by Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi."    
Council members also welcomed the government's pledge to engage with Covid-19, and to urgently provide meaningful reforms aimed at meeting the legitimate demands of the Iraqi people regarding economic opportunities, good governance, political participation, and electoral legislation.

Parliamentary Legal for “Al-Zawraa”: The new election law is not enforceable in its current form

day after Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi announced that the government will ask Parliament to complete the vote on the new election law and send it to the presidency, to enter into force after its publication in the Official Gazette, the Parliamentary Legal Committee confirmed that completing the Parliament’s elections law and ratifying its formula The final will take a long time, due to the current circumstances of the spread of Corona injuries in the provinces.
Member of the committee, MP Salim Hamzah, told Al-Zawraa that the law needs to be returned to the parliament, drafted some paragraphs, and then the final vote again. He considered that “the completion of the law in its final form will be delayed due to the current circumstance and the spread of corona injuries in the provinces.”
He added that «the new commission sent an official notice to the parliament that the law in its current form is not enforceable, and needs to amend the wording of the technical paragraphs to be ratified by the final formula», indicating that «the schedule attached to the distribution of electoral districts has not been voted on by Parliament yet, and the commission does not know whether That schedule is within the law or outside the law. ”
He explained, "There are a number of observations related to determining the quota of women and determining the population density of the electoral districts."
But the other member of the Parliamentary Legal Committee, Hussein Al-Oqabi, spoke about the reasons for the incomplete law of the elections to the House of Representatives, stressing that all disputes are technical and will be addressed after legislation to supplement the law in the upcoming sessions.

Al-Okabi stated, in a press statement, that “the constitutional obstruction of Parliament and the emergency health conditions in the country represented by the Corona pandemic, prevented the completion of the Parliament’s elections law,” noting that “the current differences are technical that can be addressed through dialogue and consensus, after the law has been enacted In the next sessions. ”He added that «the political blocs presented a set of proposals regarding the number of electoral districts and their nature, as well as other technical problems represented by the lack of an accurate population census of the number of homes and residential stores, as well as the file of disputed areas between the center and the Kurdistan region and Article 140«, indicating that «dissolution of parliament is from Within the Parliament’s election law, and not in isolation or outside the path of the electoral process that is drawn by the new law, according to the constitution.
He explained that «the request to dissolve the parliament is made through the Prime Minister or the President of the Republic, or by a written request signed by one third of the members of the House of Representatives, then submitted to a vote to obtain the absolute majority of the number of members of the Council, i.e. a vote of 166 deputies from the total number of members, by agreeing to dissolve the parliament Two months before the deadline for the elections. ”

The newspaper pointed out that "the crown prince is under new American pressure to end the three-year siege on Qatar, and to this end the Emir of Kuwait sent a minister to Qatar to reopen the mediation efforts.
The newspaper quoted an Iraqi official as saying, "Trump will not mind negotiating a new nuclear deal with Iran , as long as it bears his name," stressing that "this may lead to negotiations leading to more agreements between Washington and Tehran."

Remember too, the revaluing the Iraqi currency is not going to solve all their problems and certainly can cause more problems if not handled correctly.

Quote "...noting among these options is changing the exchange rate...and stopping the currency auctions...he called on the government to accelerate the transition of the budget in a way that reduces the deficit by reducing costs by changing the exchange rate..."  So there you go.  They said reducing cost by changing the exchange rate.  That means increasing purchasing power...they're back to where they were...since they did finish the formation of the government talking about increasing their exchange rate, promoting investment, launching their private sector, implementing and launching the reforms...everything's looking very good.  We're patiently waiting...

Newspaper: Al-Kazemi plans to replace the heads of 25 independent bodies
13/5/2013 13:04

On Wednesday, an Arab newspaper revealed Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kazimi's intention to open the file of independent bodies and replace most of their presidency.

The newspaper "Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed" said in a report today that, "With the coming of the new Prime Minister, Mustafa Al-Kazemi, today the file of independent bodies in Iraq, whose number exceeds 25 different bodies, will again emerge, some of which exceed the tasks and financial allocations allocated to them by government ministries."

She added that “the number of independent bodies in Iraq to more than 25 bodies, most notably: the Hajj and Umrah Commission, the Central Bank, the Martyrs’ Foundation, the Political Prisoners ’Organization, the Investment Authority, the Financial Supervision Bureau, the House of Wisdom (Cultural Foundation), the Provincial Commission, the Baghdad Municipality, The Reconstruction Council, the Integrity Commission, the Accountability and Justice Commission, the Media Commission, the Federal Revenue Authority, the Securities Commission, the Independent High Electoral Commission, the Communications Commission, and the High Commissioner for Human Rights, the most recent of which is the Popular Mobilization Authority that was introduced recently.

She added, “The majority of those bodies that have been run by the agency for years, and registered in the last two years serious corruption files linked to them, have become an indefinable file, especially since most of them are monopolized by political parties, while others have become redundant and can be merged or attached to other ministries in The area of specialization or interest itself, which contributes to reducing spending and eliminating corruption. The sources confirmed that some of these bodies turned into party fronts for a number of political entities rather than official institutions.

The newspaper quoted the deputy from the "Al-Fath" coalition, the Charter of AHamedi, in saying that "every file that has not been opened in the jurisdiction of the government of Adel Abdul Mahdi, will be opened by the new Prime Minister Mustafa AlKazemi, and on top of that is the file of independent bodies," explaining that "opening this file It will generate new political differences over the distribution of independent bodies among the political forces, but in the end there will be agreement, as happened with the formation of the Al-Kazemi government, which was the closest to failure.

A source in Kurdistan: Zebari closest to take over the foreign portfolio
13/5/2020 13:08
[Baghdad-where]

A parliamentary source in the Kurdistan Alliance revealed, on Wednesday, the intention of nominating former Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari to the right of foreign affairs in the Al-Kazemi government and excluding Fuad Hussein from the nomination in compliance with the opinion of all political forces.

The source said in a press statement, "The political forces in the Kurdistan Alliance will submit to the Prime Minister and the rest of the non-Kurdish political blocs the nomination of former Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari instead of Fouad Hussein, who faced opposition from Shiite and Sunni forces as one of the ministers of the government of Adel Abdul Mahdi."

The source, who preferred not to be named, added, "The nomination of the leader of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Hoshyar Zebari, for two reasons, the first of which is respected by all political forces in addition to his professional work in the diplomatic corps and the international acceptability it possesses."

He continued, "The most acceptable reason for the position by the Kurdistan Alliance forces is to return consideration to Zebari in particular and the forces of the Kurdistan Alliance in general after he was dismissed with political will from his position as finance minister," likely "passing it by all political forces."
