The explosions .

By discharging its materials to Iraq, and the corrupt received their commissions, without accomplishing anything.

Nassif continued, "The expulsion of the gang that has controlled the electricity file for years is the first step in the solution, after which it is possible to directly activate the agreements and implement projects and restore what these thieves destroyed." He called on the Integrity Commission to "adopt all of its data as official intelligence", and expressed "its willingness to come to Commission.

According to the Ministry of Electricity, Iraq's production of electrical energy is 13 thousand and 500 megawatts, and Iraq plans to add 3 thousand and 500 megawatts this year by introducing new obstetric units into service, while consumption exceeds 20 thousand.
