Abadi: Kurdish parties take over 900 thousand barrels per day of Iraqi oil

Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi accused officials in the Kurdistan region of taking 900,000 barrels of oil a day.

"The officials in the Kurdistan region seized about 900 thousand barrels of oil per day, equivalent to a quarter of oil produced in the rest of Iraq," Abadi said in a speech to the Iraqi people and their follow-up, "Economy News."

"Why do not they pay the salaries of the employees in the region, despite lowering them to minimum levels, although they get much higher quantities of oil in the region compared to the rest of the cities of Iraq, while we are here in the center and despite the great economic difficulties and the cost of the war, Stop it. "

He added that "these questions about the fate of the oil money of the region and non-payment of salaries we have offered to the officials of the region several times, and directed the financial control bodies to do its duty, but on the pretext of independence of the region, they reject the work of the oversight and integrity and consider it interference, while the real goal is to cover corruption and mismanagement "He said.

He explained that "public funds should not be owned by individuals and parties and that salaries and donations should be paid to supporters and left to the rest of the citizens."
