Baghdad, Aug. 21 (AKnews) – Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki will send the names of candidates for the Interior and Defense ministries after Eid al Fitr - the three-day holiday that marks the end of Ramadan – said a State of Law Coalition (SLC) MP today.maliki

Salam al-Maliki told AKnews that the prime minister is “serious” about resolving the issue of the security ministries that have remained unallocated since the inauguration of the ncurrent government in December last year due to disputes between the political blocs.

The names that Maliki will submit to the parliament have been studied and were chosen according to professional rules agreed upon between the political blocs,” Maliki said.

The Ahrar bloc – under the umbrella of the Sadrist Current – has criticized the PM for postponing the parliamentary vote without conferring with the deputies in the house.

MP Uday Awwad told AKnews: “The Ahrar bloc has always insisted on the need to speed up the adoption and legislation of important laws. We have collected signatures and asked parliament to cancel holidays in order to approve the legislation of laws that concern the public interest, especially those pertaining to the Iraqi citizen.”

“It would have been better to announce the holiday after getting the consent of all political blocs,” Awwad said.
