    INA-  BAGHDAD



    MPs and political analysts reaffirmed Thursday that the nation's service projects are unaffected by the unstable political and security climate in the region. They emphasized that the projects' unprecedented speed of completion is contingent upon budget approval and financial allocation.


    "The government's attention is largely focused on the service file, which reflected an unprecedented image through contracting with sober companies," Prime Minister's adviser Nasser Turki told the Iraqi News Agency (INA), adding that "the completion rates are very large in projects in Baghdad and the provinces."

    Turki added that "the Prime Minister's directives included all new and suspended projects," explaining that "the financial amounts of the projects are allocated and are not affected by external political factors in the region, explaining that "attention is focused on the completion of these projects and what we have witnessed from the satisfaction of the Iraqi people and its reflection on the service reality."
     
     
    For his part, MP Hussein Arab said that "government services projects are proceeding according to the drawn plans," noting that "the crises of the region did not affect Iraq, its economic situation and government performance, as the government continued to implement projects and complete them ahead of time."

    MP Ruqayya al-Nouri responded, saying: "There is no project lagging so far, and all of them are implemented with a high level of speed and accuracy." "All the projects initiated by the government of Prime Minister Mohamed Shia al-Sudani were implemented within the specified period without delay," he said.

    "The completion of projects on time and without delay has been achieved 100%, and this is what we have seen in the projects to end traffic congestion that were completed in record time unprecedented in previous governments," adds political analyst Ghaleb al-Daami, who concurs with al-Nouri's assertion.

    Despite the harsh internal and external political stations, the projects are proceeding in their natural context, according to the government spokesperson Al-Awadi, who stated on Thursday that the government operates on the tenet of separating paths and does not overlap between crises and services.

    "The excuse of political difficulties is no longer enough to stop the work in other state tracks," he continued, adding that "the projects move in their natural context and with specific durations, and appear to the eyes regardless of the political challenges, even at a time of confrontations and preparation for the worst."


    Prime Minister Mohammed S. Al-Sudani inaugurated yesterday, Wednesday, the Aden and Sana'a overpasses in Al-Kadhimiya, part of the first package of traffic congestion relief projects in Baghdad. The inauguration was attended by the Minister of Construction, Housing, Municipalities, and Public Works, and the Mayor of Baghdad.
     
     
    Prime Minister Al-Sudani highlighted according to an official statement, that the Aden and Sana'a overpasses are the eighth project completed within the traffic congestion relief initiative, commending the efforts made during the project’s execution. He praised the Iraqi company responsible for the project, highlighting its adherence to high standards and the implementation of detailed specifications for the first time.
