BAGHDAD: Iraqi parliament speaker Salim al-Juburi Monday called on lawmakers to approve the prime minister’s ambitious reform plan aimed at addressing popular anger over corruption and poor services.
Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi Sunday proposed a series of measures to curb corruption, streamline the government and improve services after weeks of protests and a call from Iraq’s top Shiite cleric Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani for drastic change.
