"Everyone knows what the situation in the country is and what are the problems of these days،" he said.
Sheikh Abdul-Mahdi al-Karbalai said in the second sermon of the Friday prayers from Al-Husseini al-Sharif on Friday (27/7/2018) that "the religious authority has been appreciating for a short time what things could lead to if no real and serious steps are taken for Reform and the fight against corruption and social justice, and here over the past years, dictated by the moral position of advising officials and citizens to avoid access to the current tragic situation.
"The religious authority has repeatedly advised senior government officials and leaders of political forces to recognize the magnitude of their responsibility and renounce artificial differences، which are based solely on personal and factional interests، and collect their words to manage the country in order to achieve well-being and progress for their people، And benefits and allocations، and work for reform، and refrain from protecting the corrupt parties and their owners. "
He explained that the religious authority "warned them in Friday sermon three years ago that those who are opposed to the reform and are betting that the claims are low, they have to know that the reform is a necessity of them, and if the dimensions of the claim for a period it will come back at another time stronger and much wider And the time is not sleepy. "
He also advised citizens whenever the date of parliamentary and local elections is resolved that the reform and change for the better, which is the demand of all and the urgent need for the country will not be achieved unless you have not done it properly, it will not happen, and the best mechanism for him is the conscious participation in the elections based on a good choice , That is, the election of an efficient and keen interest to the supreme interests of the Iraqi people, and prepared to sacrifice for the sake of serving his sons. "
The representative of the supreme religious authority that "to achieve this purpose, the religious authority demanded that the electoral law is fair to protect the inviolability of the votes of voters and is not allowed to circumvent them, and that the Electoral Commission is independent as determined by the Constitution and not subject to partisan allocation, and warned that failure to provide these conditions will lead To the despair of most citizens of the electoral process and reluctance to participate in it. "
However, as everyone knows, things did not go according to the wishes of the religious authority, and most of them continued to suffer because of the lack of services, the spread of unemployment and the unprecedented decline in the agricultural and industrial sectors. This is a natural result of the spread of financial and administrative corruption in various state institutions and institutions, And away from the professional controls in the conduct and management. "
Sheikh Al-Karbalai criticized the attack on demonstrators, saying: "Today, after all that has happened in the past weeks of attacks rejected and condemned the peaceful demonstrators and the security forces and public and private property and unfortunately dragged into bloody clashes left a large number of victims and wounded, it is necessary to work in two tracks, The current government is in the realization of what can be achieved urgently from the demands of citizens and thus reduce their suffering and their brothers, and the second that the next government will be formed as soon as possible on the basis of the correct competencies and effective and impartial, and bear the Prime Minister where full To be responsible for the performance of his government and be firm and strong and courageous enough in the fight against financial and administrative corruption, which is the basis of most of the country suffers from poor conditions, and this is his first duty and its main task, and wage a relentless war on the corrupt and their mothers.
The representative of the Supreme Reference on the need to "undertake his government to work in accordance with the program is prepared on the basis of scientific steps to take effective and studied, including the following:
1. Adopts proposals for bills to be submitted to the Chamber of Deputies, including repeal or amendment of the laws in force which grant rights and privileges to certain categories, which are incompatible with the promotion of equality and justice among the people
2. Submit bills to the House of Representatives to fill legal gaps that are exploited by the corrupt to achieve their purposes, and give the Integrity Commission and other regulatory authorities wider choices in the fight against corruption and stand against the corrupt.
3. The application of strict controls in the selection of ministers and other government appointments, especially for senior positions and special grades, to prevent those who are not competent and accused of corruption and those who discriminate between citizens according to their sectarian or political affiliations and those who exploit government sites for themselves or their relatives or parties and so on.
4. Directing the Office of Financial Supervision to end the audit in the final accounts of the general budgets in the past years and all the contracts and financial allocations for previous years at the level of each ministry and governorate, and the need to announce the results of the audit with high transparency to expose the manipulators with public funds and those entrusted with them.
He stressed that "the next House of Representatives to take seriously with all the reform steps and approve the necessary laws for that," warning of the government's disclaimer, saying "and if the government disengages from work as promised by the failure or the matter in the House of Representatives or the judiciary, Peaceful methods of protest to impose his will on officials supported by all the good forces in the country, and then the scene will have a different face than what is today.
Sheikh Al-Karbalai concluded his speech by saying: "We hope that there is no need for this, and the reason, the logic and the interest of the country prevail in those who are in positions of responsibility and with the decision to settle it before it is too late.
