Corruption out of control in Kurdistan
Corruption
(Kurdish Media) The head of Kurdistan Toilers Party Mr Qadir Aziz has told Kurdish independent weekly Medya that if the situation in south Kurdistan continues without a radical improvement, he thinks there will be major uprising against the rule of the two dominant parties. He says: "What is happening in Kurdistan has gone far beyond corruption. What is happening now is the official control of the two parties over all the wealth and property of people."
He says: "Corruption is something that happens discreetly. But what is happening in Kurdistan is a stark aggression of the two parties against people and their property." He adds: "The appropriation of so many public buildings, property and land by political parties and their ownership of innumerable companies, hotels and people's property have gone far beyond corruption. He says that he does not believe that KDP and PUK can improve the current situation. There will be a social breakdown. And then only the Islamic parties will exploit and benefit from this situation. "This is already happening", he says.
