Sadrist MP accuses Maliki of seducing MPs of Ahrar bloc to support him

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) MP, Mohammed al-Khafaji, of al-Ahrar bloc within the Sadr Trend accused the head of the State of Law Coalition and the Premier, Nouri al-Maliki, of seducing the MPs of al-Ahrar bloc to support him.

He stated to Iraqi News (IraqiNews.com) “Some of the MPs of the SLC attempted to seduce the MPs of al-Ahrar bloc by giving promises related to granting them money and protection forces in addition to armored vehicles where our MPs informed the political committee of the Sadr Trend and we informed them to check this issue.”

“These MPs contacted Maliki personally and he promised the same privileges to show his political deterioration as he did with some MPs who left from their blocs to join him,” he added.

“We would like to inform Maliki that it is incorrect to make these attempts by using the public funds which are for the Iraqi people and not for you to achieve your personal interests,” he pointed out.

“This issue happened and al-Ahrar bloc knows about it and about what will happen later,” he concluded.
