We have no surrogates in our fight against corruption in Iraq

The problem with corruption in Iraq is that we have so many of these misfits like the Minster of commerce, and with the parliament and government proceed at this rate of curbing corruption, we should need a hundred of years or more to achieve a reasonable corruption-free condition.
I think we should never rely on Almaliki or whomever to take the initiative of fighting corruption, and I strongly suggest that all people of Iraq themselves should take the initiative and raise their voices forcefully and emphatically against corruption, cronyism and sectarianism. They should, for example, take the streets demonstrating against corruption and send letters to officials that name the corrupt and call on the government to bring them before court. The role of society’s civil organization in terms of observation and control should be activated and strengthened, and the neutrality of the legal system should be ensured.
Additionally, all parties and political groups should take all necessary measures and call on their people to protest in all (peaceful) means against corruption and other political ills. I do not fathom, for example, why those affected by the corrupted food ration did not directly sue the Minister of Commerce for damage to their health and wellbeing, and I am sure there would have been many good lawyers to represent their case.
We should never rely on initiatives coming from above like Almaliki’s campaign against corruption. This campaign should be launched by each one of us and fought by whatever possible peaceful means. Our people of Iraq should empower themselves, take the initiatives and fights for their own rights, rather than wait for whomever politician (however good-intentioned he is) to fight their fight on their behalf. It is their fight and they should lead the way. This is the only way to make sure that our politicians are there to sever the people, rather than the other way round.
