http://pukmedia.com/News/09-05-2009/07.jpg Members in the Iraqi committee for oil and gas called for summoning the Iraqi oil minister Hussein al-Shahristani to the Iraqi parliament, due to the deterioration of oil production in the past three years, which represents the time spent by al-Shahristani as the Iraqi oil minister, as well as due to halting the export of oil from the Kurdistan Region.
The Chairman of the Iraqi committee for oil and gas, Ali Hussein al- Balu told Radio Sawa "We, the majority members of the Iraqi committee for oil and gas, called for questioning the Iraqi oil minister since oil is the main source of living of the Iraqi people. Moreover, there is the possibility to export between 100 to 150 thousand barrels of oil from Kurdistan Region.”
Chairman of the Integrity Committee in the Iraqi council of representatives Sbah al- Sa'idi, said that refusing the interrogation of several Iraqi ministers by some parliamentary blocs, is represented as a major failure in activating the parliamentary monitoring.
