Shafaq News / A member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Jamal Cougar confirmed, today, Saturday, that Transparency International did not make a mistake when it placed Iraq among the most corrupt countries, indicating that there are dozens of ineffective regulatory institutions.

Cougar said in an interview with Shafaq News; "Transparency International did not make a mistake when it placed Iraq among the most corrupt countries," noting that "Transparency International has firm and clear criteria on which to evaluate countries."

Cougar added; "There are dozens of oversight institutions in Iraq, including the Integrity Commission, the Office of Financial Supervision, the Judiciary and Anti-Corruption, but they are ineffective," calling for "placing these institutions in a single, effective institution capable of stopping corruption and fighting it in a real way."

Cougar pointed out that, "in order to get advanced ranks within Transparency International, you have to have effective institutions, you have to have strict laws, you have to apply the laws, you must have a strong government, you must have control over your borders and ports, and you have sovereignty over your land." Your institutions and your properties, "adding that" all these matters do not exist except for the existence of strict laws. "

"Iraq ranked sixth in the most corrupt Arab countries, ahead of Libya, Sudan, Yemen, Syria and Somalia, while it ranked 160 globally out of 180 countries listed in the table with international transparency," Transparency International said in a report last Thursday.
