Highlights/Thoughts
Click on the title of this posting to get the details of this article
1. Maliki assured the independent bodies that the ruling of the federal court will not strip the independent bodies of their independence in any way as long as they abide by their governing laws
2. The article said that Maliki requested a court ruling on the matter just before he was reappointed prime minister
3. Maliki said, "The day will not come when we tell the central bank we want to use any part of the bank's reserves for the state's budget"
4. Maliki said that the cabinet could only intervene in the work of the independent bodies if they violated the laws governing their roles
5. Maliki warned the court ruling is not reversible
It is interesting to note that this is at least the 2nd time I've heard that Maliki initiating the request to the federal courts on this ruling. The first article I read said he did that back in December, which is consistent with this article. However, Delta mentioned yesterday that Iraq TV is saying Maliki says he did not prompt the federal court on this. He said they did this on their own.
