Higher Councils
Tuesday 06 April 2021 52 Thamer Al-Himas calls are repeated from time to time to establish a higher council for the private sector and a supreme council for electronic governance. These are legitimate calls, in light of the decline in performance and the delay of thousands of projects, for several reasons.
The question is if all economic and administrative performance is linked to the prime minister’s office, as is related to the current administration, then will we see under it, which councils performance is limited and directly related to projects and their direct administrations, passing through all relevant institutions, or whether these parties have their representatives in the councils or through the Ministry of Planning Or the concerned ministry?
It is a process in this case becoming an escape for the imam, and the higher councils will not be Moses’s stick to carry out the activities for which they are formed. Rather, they will join other special ranks or they will be isolated, and thus the expansion of agencies and advisors, and according to experience, was not encouraging.
Which means a return to the principles of management, which are guided by the principle of management by achieving goals, and the principle of the right man in the right place, as the one who establishes these principles as an infrastructure for work and good performance is the Federal Service Council, with its members and presidency linked to their mission and goals first and foremost like the Federal Court, independently in implementation and decision.
From here, governance has a solid base, and this is how the private sector proceeds, shortening the way, armed with the law and the administrative pathways defined by one window, which is the Ministry of Planning, but we also have to prepare the private sector, by asking whether the right man is in his place, in unions, councils, unions and associations, and is there transparency in The elections that took place, and are they any private sector leaders who have their strategy that unifies the industrial, agricultural and commercial sectors in a unified rhythm, even though as it is known that they do not have a pressure parliamentary lobby as holders of constitutional and legal interests?
The proposed councils for the private sector and governance, we do not expect them to succeed as they compete with parliamentary committees, the Ministry of Planning and advisory bodies, as they do not constitute a substitute for them and do not integrate with them, especially since they have become official, and the references of each of them are different.

Openness And Investment
Tuesday 06 April 2021 115 Ali Hassan Al-Fawaz Political openness means in its most effective aspects the effectiveness of economic openness and consolidation of the pillars of state building in which the political affairs do not separate from the economic affairs from interdependence, interaction and communication. The real thing, which will be the great support for the national political project.
The complexity in the nature of the Iraqi political problems, and the absence of the collective will of the political parties is reflected in one way or another on any treatment related to the economy, society, services, culture and health, as these problems often amplify and turn into obstacles to the issuance of laws and decisions, and about the failure to address the manifestations of failure and corruption and the weakness of managing other files
And perhaps the delay that occurred before the approval of the federal budget for the current year reveals the nature of these crises and their pressures, and their impact in the face of political challenges, especially as we are facing urgent national and developmental entitlements, and at the gates of early elections that require an effective and safe political environment, just as they require a horizon that anticipates the importance of The change in the pattern of political administration, and in dealing with the economic crisis that has manifested itself for seventeen years.
Searching for an investment environment at home or abroad represents a correct procedure, and a courageous step that reflects the awareness of responsibility, just as it reflects the importance of this research being at the level of ambition, and within the strategic vision that requires political awareness and support,
as well as the presence of the will that owns the decision, which is what happened during visits Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi to Saudi Arabia and the Emirates, which carried political and economic messages at the same time, to open horizons and more effective relations, and to create a regional environment far from axes and conflicts, which has guarantees of success, and its ability to achieve regional security in which everyone participates,
In a way that meets their successful ambitions, at the level of alleviating the hype of crises, and at the level of transforming the region into an attractive environment for investments, and for strengthening the orders of political, economic and security relations in a way that serves the collective interests,
and strengthens societal and sovereign security paths, as well as finding rational solutions to conflicts in the region away from external interference And the exaggeration of the militarization tendencies that our region has become one of the most obsessed with buying weapons, and aggravating ethnic problems, and the most bloody and violent regional wars.
