Commenting on the speech of Finance Minister Ali Allawi about the occurrence of varying percentages in the implementation of the white paper by the ministries of the state, Abdul Hussein said, "The disparity does not mean the inaction of parties, as there were problems in implementation that led to a decrease in its percentage in some ministries, and the total percentage of projects of the white paper reached Applied for 61% in terms of evaluating the targets, not the completion rate, six months after the application of the paper, which was launched as actual implementation on August 1, 2021.”

A report is sent at the end of each month on what has been implemented, and a team is sent by us to determine what has already been accomplished."
