Baghdad A member of the Parliamentary Integrity Committee, Sarwa Abdul Wahed, demanded today, Saturday, the Judicial Council to prevent the travel of officials in the Iraqi government suspected of corruption.

Abdul Wahed said in a press statement: Every day we hear news about the resignations and travels of officials suspected of corruption in the outgoing government.

She added, “Therefore, we ask the President of the Supreme Judicial Council to prevent them from traveling, because we trust the justice of our judiciary.”

She stressed: Those involved in wasting people’s money cannot be allowed to enjoy it outside Iraq with their families, at a time when the citizen is suffering from hardship.
