Al Iraqiya List cashed in on the lack of services issue brought to light recently in Iraq to pick holes in the new government which they are still reluctant to take part into. In a meeting with his bloc, Al Iraqiya leader Iyad Allawi stressed the necessity for the Iraqi government to take drastic measures in order to resolve the services shortage in the country. National partnership is the best solution to meet Iraqi people’s needs and demands, Allawi said. Al Iraqiya’s meeting discussed as well the issue of vacant ministries calling on the Prime Minister to provide the requirements of the candidate for ministries. It has been agreed as well to form a committee of Al Iraqiya officials in order to follow up pending issues between Al Iraqiya, National Alliance and Kurdistan Alliance. Eight years following the change era in Iraq, services and citizens’ concerns seem to come to light. Observers however fear this sudden attention is a result of a temporary political plan to contain people’s anger.
