Iraq-Ministers
Government has to make sure new ministers are efficient – legislator
By Adel Fakher
Baghdad, Jan 7, (VOI) – A member of the Iraqi parliament urged on Sunday Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to verify the CVs of nominees to join the government as ministers in light of the expected reshuffle so as to make sure posts are filled by efficient ministers.
The incumbent government "was formed hastily because much time was taken in negotiations between Maliki, the head of the government, and the political blocs represented inside the parliament," Wa'il Abd al-Latif, a deputy for Iyad Allawi's National Iraqi List, told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI).
Judge Abd al-Latif said that the change "would include 10-12 ministers representing Iraq's political spectrum."
He said the cabinet reshuffle "must be settled this month," noting the security ministers, like the defense and interior, should be given more chances to cope with the new security plan, which will be strongly supported by the multinational forces.
Abd al-Latif said "there is a large financial budget prepared for the current year 2007 and it needs efficient ministers, governors and local council chiefs to invest these funds for the people's good."

Iraq to receive arms from Pentagon soon – spokesman
By Husam al-Shahmani
Baghdad, Jan 7, (VOI) – The Iraqi defense ministry will receive a gift of 4,000 armored personnel carriers (APCs), 1800 Humvee vehicles and 16 helicopter gunships from the Pentagon and will hopefully arrive next March, a ministry spokesman said on Sunday.
"The defense ministry is racing against time to obtain weapons that surpass those of gunmen so that security would be imposed in the area," Mohammed al-Aaskari, the spokesman for Iraq's defense ministry, told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI).
Aaskari said the armament of Iraq's army is still going on.
"We have got contracts to purchase armored vehicles, medium weapons and boats from the United States, Britain and other European countries," said Aaskari.
He added that the defense ministry is working in accordance with the armament plan that is inextricably linked to the state budget.
Meanwhile, Maj. General Nabil Khalil, director of war veterans' affairs in Iraq's defense ministry, told VOI "the new Iraqi army depends on light weapons and does not have the necessary backing arms that would help it satisfactorily carry out the assignments it receives."
Qassem al-Musawi, the spokesman for the commander-in-chief of Iraq's armed forces, said there was "a timetable reached with the multinational forces handover of (security) responsibilities in all Iraqi provinces.
"The year 2007 will be one of security, peace and stability," asserted Musawi, noting "the 86th anniversary of the founding of Iraq' s army, which was established on January 6, 1921, is marking an important step in enhancing security and stability nationwide."
Musawi affirmed that the (Iraqi) armed forces will work in association with the people on tracking down the “extremists and Saddamists who try to destabilize the country."
