Finance Minister: We will refer any violator to the prosecution if evidence is found... Khalil: So we will meet when discussing "state property"
Al-Jalahmah: We have referred suspects to the Public Prosecution... and government agencies should form investigation committees to investigate them
Gudaibiya - Amani Al Maskati, Hassan Al Madhoub
The House of Representatives, in its session yesterday, finished discussing three reports of the Board of Supreme Audit for the years 2006, 2007 and 2008, and voted unanimously in favor of the recommendations of the Finance Committee, which presented the three reports with its recommendations to it.
Most of the deputies who made their interventions yesterday poured out their anger on the government over what they considered blatant and repeated violations of government agencies and documented by successive reports of the Board of Financial Supervision.
The head of the Financial Supervision Bureau, Hassan Al-Jalahma, said in the session that they had actually referred a number of people to the Public Prosecution, after the Bureau discovered that they had almost corruption in their work in government agencies.
Al-Jalahma added, "If it becomes clear to it that there is criminal evidence against any person or entity, it will not stand still, and will send it to the Public Prosecution, and we have done that, but we cannot mention the names in our reports, because the accused is innocent until proven guilty."
He continued, "With regard to Article 11 of the Law of the Financial Supervision Bureau, which allows it to refer violators to the Public Prosecution, we say that the first natural responsibility lies with the official authorities in which these violations are found, and investigation committees can also be established in them."
In his intervention, which he made at the conclusion of the parliament’s deliberations regarding the financial control reports for the years 2006, 2007, and 2008, Al-Jalahma thanked all the deputies for their praise, stressing that “the Bureau is committed to a law that defines its work and its powers, and these reports are a great effort for the staff of the Bureau, but we stress that This is our duty in the work we do.”
He added, "We must mention that the oversight reports are subjective, and there are actually some parties that have fixed their affairs, and to be fair, Mumtalakat has done great things, and all companies have provided notes of what they are supposed to have fixed."
For his part, Finance Minister Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed Al Khalifa said, "Our ministry is facing the Public Prosecution building, and we are ready to go with anyone from tomorrow morning, but to throw accusations without evidence, that offends all Bahrainis."
And he continued, “Anyone who has evidence, we will go with him to investigations and file a report on him, because it is not our role to defend anyone, and we will be thankful to you if you provide evidence on this. We are the first to act on some of these issues, but we need real evidence and not political addresses, and we should To reach a conviction before we act, and we must be sure.”
For his part, the head of the Finance Committee, Abdul Jalil Khalil, commented on the minister’s words by saying, “I agree with the minister that the violations are not only related to the Ministry of Finance, and all the authorities are competent, and I say that we will present the report of the investigation committee into state property next Tuesday, and this committee was formed after An effort made by the Financial Supervision Report, and we have proven beyond any doubt that there are flagrant violations of state real estate and lands.”
Khalil: “The abuses are clear.” Fleifel: Our purchases are secret
“Defense” violations heat up discussions of “censorship reports”
The comments on the Ministry of Defense in the council’s reports heated up the parliamentary debates, and the government’s response to them, as the Director of Military Judiciary Youssef Fleifel began to assert that the Ministry of Defense cooperated fully with the Financial Supervision Bureau.
He said: "We are cooperating with him in providing all the required documents, except for documents of a confidential nature with regard to organizational structures, and the enumeration of the armed forces that can in no way be handed over, as they are secret, and they have been provided with legal evidence that contains all the required documents." without prejudice to the principle of confidentiality.
He added, “On the issue of tenders, the Defense has a special system that has been in place for a long time, and the Tender Board is aware of it and we have addressed it, and we are now studying the relationship with them in this field. Therefore, I would like to emphasize that we are fully prepared to cooperate with the Financial Supervision Bureau, But we differ with them in the interpretation of the constitutional text.”
For his part, Minister of Finance Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed Al Khalifa replied that Article 33 (g) of the constitution gives the ministry the right not to go to the Tender Board, stressing that “the Ministry of Defense works in accordance with the law and the constitution.”
After the minister’s intervention, Representative Jassem Al-Saidi expressed his objection to the words of the Chairman of the Finance Committee, Abdul Jalil Khalil, to which the latter responded by saying: “Every expenditure that was not specified in the budget or in excess of the estimates allocated to the ministries may not be exceeded except by law,” adding, “Our committee is not against the Ministry of Defense, We have agreed to open an additional appropriation for it in the 2009 budget, and we are not here in the field of auctions.”
In another intervention in the same regard, MP Al-Sidmaki Al-Wadaei said: “The budget of the Ministry of Defense falls within the general budget, so the ministry must abide by the constitution, that any law that violates the constitution must be thrown into the sea.”
Al-Fadil: The government’s goal is reform, and whoever says otherwise is wrong
The Minister of Shura and Representatives Affairs Abdulaziz bin Muhammad Al-Fadil stressed in the parliament session yesterday that the government is working for reform and cooperation with the House of Representatives.
He said: The House of Representatives has included in the first legislative term the discussion of the final account with the report of the Office of Financial Supervision..., denying at the same time what was mentioned during the session that the government does not cooperate with the Council.
The minister explained that "this matter is not true and that our goal is reform, and whoever says otherwise is wrong," noting that reform must be based on the law and that accusations should not be brought against anyone without evidence.
Abul-Fath: Violations of the ministries are a “Mexican series”
Deputy Chairman of the Finance Committee, Representative Issa Abul-Fath, said that if there is no evidence of violations, what is the meaning of all this work done by the Financial Supervision Bureau and the representatives!
He added, "We see armies of state officials, with inflated salaries, and it seems that the irregularities are going as if they are (a Mexican series)," he continued, "We have blessed the government and the Economic Development Board to establish the Sovereign Fund for Mumtalakat, but the government must abide by the principles of (Santiago), without It is reasonable that a company with a capital of 10 billion violates its articles of association. These violations will take us back to decades of history and the famous phrase that al-Mamoun said to one of his governors: Either you moderated or you retired.
Salman: The observations of “censorship” are repeated year after year
Deputy Sheikh Ali Salman said: "The observations directed by the Oversight Bureau to ministries were repeated, and recommendations were repeated years after years, and it seems that there is no response to these recommendations, as if there is no real belief in the recommendations of the Oversight Bureau, that all of the recommendations are positive recommendations."
He added, "There is no proportionate response and no step forward in order that the recommendations do not remain mere recommendations and do not find their way to implementation. Can't the Chief of the Bureau submit to the Public Prosecution a recommendation for political tightening so that this pace does not remain in dealing with the recommendations of the Bureau?"
He added, “We also have a problem that our authority will be limited to recommendations, but the Finance Committee repeats the recommendations of the Bureau that he mentioned, despite the presence of its own recommendations.
Khaled: The thieves of 2008 are more than 2003... and the violating officials committed suicide
Representative Muhammad Khaled downloaded the two reports of the Financial Supervision Bureau for the years 2003 and 2008, and said: “Look at the 2003 report, what made it weaker, and the 2008 report, what made it bigger, as if (a cat has become solid). Because there is a national council and transparency, but unfortunately their numbers have increased.”
He added, "The birds flew with their sustenance from the forbidden. Unfortunately, this report is issued for decoration only. Officials receive it and laugh... and they say to the goodness of God, thank you, and we must interrogate... to no avail."
He continued, "We have not heard about summoning a minister or reprimanding our conscience, and the Finance Minister tells us: When I am abroad, I see that people are fine and happy, but in the parliament he hears problems. I say that the minister or the official, as soon as his violations are published in the press, resigns, commits suicide, or is brought to trial, but in Bahrain we are surprised that the transgressor continues to transgress. I ask: Is it reasonable to pump 300 million dinars to a bankrupt company whose owners divorced it with three? Rather, the government and the Economic Development Board are playing it like a tennis ball.”
Bousandal: Financial control reports prove the government's confusion
Representative Ibrahim Bousandal said that the financial control reports proved inaccurate estimates of the state’s general budget, and that there was confusion in the administrative aspects in some ministries, as well as the weakness of the internal audit systems, and the lack of adherence to laws.
He continued, "If the situation continues in this way, nothing will change at all, and every year the pages in the financial control report increase and the violations increase, but the Ministry of Finance did not cooperate with us, and we do not always blame it because things are not always in its hands."
Murad: A prostitution network in "Gulf Air" ... and flight attendants who frequent the yachts!
Representative Abdel Halim Murad said in an intervention he gave during the parliament’s session held yesterday (Tuesday) that he will detonate a heavy-caliber bomb in some “Gulf Airlines violations,” revealing a document he said was issued by the company confirming its discovery of a prostitution network, mentioning that there are flight attendants receiving their salaries, but they They go on yachts.” He added that the Financial Supervision Bureau has detected violations in the official authorities, and violators must be submitted to the Public Prosecution, because its tasks must be strengthened by referring some cases to the Public Prosecution, and this is what we have confirmed that actually happened in some cases.
He added that Mumtalakat was established in 2006, and its assets amount to 10 billion, and it owns the investments of 39 companies, of which 13 are fully owned by the government. different without any meeting.”
Fairouz: "Tubli Housing" budget shortfall due to transfers
Representative Jalal Fairouz indicated that an amount of 19 million dinars was allocated in the state budget for the years 2007-2008 for the Tubli housing project, not to mention the allocation of 23 million dinars for the same project in the next budget allocated to it, pointing out that the shortfall in the project budget came due to the rotation and transfers that were made to the budget. Without abiding by the budget law, he asked: "Where is the role of the Minister of Finance in his responsibility for financial transfers?"
He also pointed to the millions of dinars of uncollected revenues, and said: "Year after year, we ask the government, how can ministries violate the constitutional articles, and there is no deterrent to that?"
Kazem: The Committee for Treatment Abroad is managed by "Al Baraka"
Representative Mr. Jamil Kazem said that it is necessary to tighten oversight over the Ministry of Health with regard to treatment expenses abroad, and to ensure its compliance with regulations and laws, and to clarify its working mechanisms because recent financial control reports indicated that there are exceptions in this area, which are 29 exception cases made by the Minister And one case is an exception by the agent, despite the fact that there are many messages sent by representatives to some citizens in need of treatment, and the ministry’s response comes to them that treatment is available in Bahrain, or that the budget is not enough.
He added that the Committee for Treatment Abroad is run "on the pond", and the observations indicate that there are no regulations, and it is far from being organized.
Al-Fadalah: The beneficiaries of the exchange in the “censorship” report are the happy ones
Deputy Nasser Al-Fadala said: "It appears that the beneficiaries of the exchange aspects in the report of the Oversight Bureau are happy, and we challenge the Minister of Finance to bring us evidence proving the entry of one dinar as a return from "Formula 1" in the budget."
Al-Fadala criticized the failure to include the state's consolidated final account for the year 2008 in the Diwan's report, stressing that the Council will not praise and praise, but will continue to exercise its role as an observer and critic.
He described the minister's words as "impostor and polishing".
After Al-Mazal questioned the results of the evaluation of “Canadian Reliability”... Al-Hammar: Your CD is stale
Gudaibiya - Amani Al Maskati, Hassan Al Madhoub
MP Muhammad al-Mazal's skepticism about the results of the initial evaluation carried out by the Canadian accreditation authority for the departments of the Ministry of Health angered Health Minister Faisal al-Hamar, who described al-Mazal's criticism as "a broken and worn out cylinder!"
The dialogue between Al-Mazal and Al-Hamar intensified, during Al-Mazal’s comment on the minister’s answer to his question regarding the results of the initial evaluation of the Canadian accreditation authority, as Al-Mazal launched an attack on the results, which he believed that its evaluation was not based on the reality of the ministry, but rather came according to what was paid by the “customer (Ministry of Health). ) to the accreditation body,” as he put it.
However, the minister responded to him by saying: “It is not possible to accept the fallacies and shriek you mentioned in your intervention.” Al-Mazal commented on him: “If you describe my words as screaming, then I describe your words as deception and polishing.”
At the beginning of his comment on the minister, Al-Mazal said: “Since the former Minister, Nada Hafdah, signed an agreement with the Canadian Accreditation Council for Health Services to obtain this accreditation, the hope was that the work on obtaining this accreditation would be a motive for upgrading health services in this country, and we believed in the necessity of giving the ministry a chance.” To provide health services to gain the respect of citizens for what is provided in health services.”
He added, "We have not been exposed to the accreditation project for 3 years since it was signed, but when the ministry started talking about obtaining this accreditation, and noting that the services and their level did not change for the better, but rather are in a continuous deterioration, we decided to ask this question regarding the results of the initial evaluation and the shortcomings that were recommended The institution has dealt with it, but the answer is not pointing out the shortcomings.”
He pointed out that it was clear that there was no development of the information system, nor of infection control systems, nor development and training of human resources, or any work to spread health culture and spread the culture of the patients' rights document.
He said: “Has the accreditation authority granted a patent certificate to the ministry? And a full certificate of eligibility? Especially since the Canadian accreditation body, according to the data contained in it, (provides its services in cooperation with customers, and accreditation is not a success or failure, but rather means helping institutions to succeed, and that the Council is adaptable, culturally sensitive and has a competitive price, and the application of the program and the accreditation cycle is flexible based on the degree of customer readiness ) ... Thanks to the Canadian Council.”
He added, "Bahrain was the first in the Arab world in terms of reliability, because there is simply no country that preceded it to adopt public services, because no one goes to Canadian accreditation, but rather American accreditation. Only six countries have used Canadian accreditation. Three of them are Gulf, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, and in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are private institutions, while the other countries are Italy, Brazil and Bermuda.
Al-Mazal confirmed that he asked Minister Al-Hamar to provide him with the final results of the accreditation authority, but the minister did not provide him with them, pointing out that the reports he obtained showed that the accreditations were given based on written matters, without being verified by the accreditation authority on the ground.
Al-Mazal also said: “Does the Canadian accreditation body know that the Bahrain Nursing Society entered a court battle with the Ministry of Health so that it would not have a voice? There is no accreditation for the ministry except the accreditation it can obtain from the people of Bahrain.”
However, the minister commented on Al-Mazal’s intervention by saying: “The appearance of the Ministry of Health is in the clouds, and I want everything that Al-Mazal said to be cancelled, because what he said are fallacies and outcry. Why has he been silent since 2007? Now he appears in public with this screaming and convulsiveness and says that this speech is not acceptable, and we are the ones who tell him his words are not acceptable.”
He continued, "It is a matter of pride and honor that the health services have obtained Canadian accreditation, and in fact I hope that the Council will be the first to congratulate this scientific achievement, which, if it indicates anything, indicates the advanced level that the Kingdom of Bahrain has reached."
Al-Mazal replied: “The minister wants to write off everything, and all I will say is that I remained silent while waiting for the result, so that it would not be said that when we started investigating the health, we did not give him a chance to obtain accreditation. I describe his words as deception and polishing.”
He added, "The emergency crisis continues, so is this what the Canadian accreditation body is adopting? Is this what pleases you, the people of Bahrain? Dozens died due to medical errors? Did you share the reports with the Canadian accreditation bodies or did you hide them from them?”
Al-Mazal touched on the patient with schlerosis, Ahmed, who died two days ago, after spending two hours without aid until he fell into a coma.
Al-Mazal asked: “Has anything changed in the level of service in the health centers? The average time required internationally and standard is 10 minutes for a patient, and still does not exceed 5 minutes. And when the Ministry enters into a battle with the Nursing Association, and when the Ministry delays approving a fair cadre of doctors so that they do not migrate from Bahrain to hospitals close to us, steps away because there is no fair cadre of doctors, and when the Ministry is unable to convince less than 1 percent of citizens and residents to vaccinate Swine flu, is this the required trust and accreditation?
The minister expressed reservations about Al-Mazal’s intervention when he said: “Unfortunately, Al-Mazal did not bring anything new, and he has been repeating and repeating the same words for years, as if a broken cylinder. And I don't need advertising and propaganda.”
Al-Mazal rejected Al-Hamr’s expression, and said: “It is not the minister’s right to use the phrase “weak cylinder,” but rather the “weak cylinder” is what comes from it.”
He confirmed that doctors work in restaurants, security guards, and salespeople
Higher: 84% of “Health” jobs are not advertised
MP Sayed Abdullah Al-Aali confirmed that 83.9 percent of the Ministry of Health jobs are not announced, and that there are a group of jobs whose number of vacancies is unknown, and among these jobs are two positions at the rank of chief, pointing out that the ministry announced 7 times externally, 5 of which were not announced locally.
Commenting on the response of the Minister of Health, Faisal Al-Hamar, to his question regarding employment in the ministry from 2005 to 2008, Al-Aali said: “There are those who have been excluded or delayed in their employment among the doctors who chose temporary work pending their recruitment as doctors in the Salmaniya Medical Complex, after they passed the exams and finished all The requirements and they were waiting for their employment for months, and some of them had to work as food preparers in fast food restaurants, and as a security guard in one of the malls, while another worked as a sales representative in a company, and some of them worked in private hospitals with unfair salaries that do not exceed 200 dinars per month.
وأضاف: «هناك سنويا ما لا يقل عن 20 إلى 40 طبيبا يتم تأخير توظيفهم إلى مدد تتراوح بين 6 أشهر إلى عام واحد، جراء تباطؤ ديوان الخدمة المدنية في توظيفهم، على رغم إنهائهم فترة التدريب واجتيازهم امتحانات مزاولة المهنة».
وانتقد العالي رفض وزير الصحة تزويده بقرص مدمج يتضمن الشواغر الوظيفية في وزارة الصحة وأسماء من يشغلها بحجة أن الإجابة يجب أن تكون كتابة وليس كتابة إلكترونية أو على قرص مدمج.
وقال: «يبدو أن الكتابة الإلكترونية ليست كتابة، ولا يعتد بها في نظر الوزير، ولا يمكن الاستشهاد بها لأنها ليست من الحبر، وهو زينة الكاتبين أو مداد العلماء، وليس القرص المدمج مكتوبا بالقلم الذي عناه الجليل في سورتي العلق والقلم، ولذلك اعتذر الوزير عن تقديم القرص الإلكتروني استنادا للمادة (135) في اللائحة الداخلية للمجلس التي اشترطت أن يكون رد الوزير على السؤال مكتوبا أو مطبوعا على الورق وليس مخفيا في قرص شيطاني مدمج إيمانا بالشفافية وتيمنا بكتاب الله تعالى».
وأضاف: «تعذر الوزير عن الإجابة عمن تم تعيينهم في وزارته من أجل المحافظة على أسرار الفرد وخصوصياته، ولا يقصد به إمكان الكشف عن هفوات أو مقاصد تكشف خللا في آليات التوظيف والإعلان عن الوظائف، ومدى الشفافية وكفاءة الفرص فيها. أما في وزارة التربية والتعليم وغيرها، والتي يفرح أبناء شعب البحرين حين يرون أسماء من تم تعيينهم، فهو خروج واضح على القانون وكشف لأسرار الأفراد وخصوصياتهم ما يعاقب عليه القانون».
وانتقد العالي أيضا ما أعلنته وزارة الصحة عن توجهها للاستعانة بالخبرات الأردنية على إثر زيارة وزير الصحة الأردني للبحرين في وقت سابق.
أما الوزير الحمر فأكد التزام وزارته بقانون الخدمة المدنية واللائحة التنفيذية له، مشيرا إلى أنه وضع في الإجابة جدولا يبين عدد الوظائف المعتمدة في الوزارة في الفترة التي طلبها العالي، لافتا إلى وجود 59 وظيفة حتى العام 2009، وأنه جارٍ العمل في الاستفادة من هذا العدد من الوظائف.
أما بالنسبة للعام 2010، فأكد الحمر أنه لم يتم تحديد المطلوب لهذه الوظائف بعد. وقال: «بالنسبة للقرص المدمج، ففي نص اللائحة الداخلية اشترطت أن يكون رد الوزير على السؤال مكتوبا، أما بالنسبة لذكر الأسماء فهو مدعوم بدستور مملكة البحرين بالنسبة للتوظيف عن الحرية الشخصية، وهذا الكلام موثق، وحيث أن الطلب يتعدى على حرية الفرد فهو يتعذر الإجابة عليه».
وبشأن الاستفادة من الخبرات الأردنية، فأكد الوزير أنه يمكن الاستفادة منها بشتى الوسائل، سواء على صعيد الخبرات البشرية أو التكنولوجية أو التدريبية، وخصوصا أن الأردن دولة متقدمة طبيا، والكثير من البحرينيين يذهبون للأردن لطلب العلاج، ومعظمها تتكلل بالنجاح، وفقا للوزير.
وسأل الوزير العالي: «من أين أتيت بنسبة الـ83.9 في المئة؟ النسبة الموجودة في وزارة الصحة 85 في المئة هي نسبة البحرنة للأطباء، والتمريض 73 في المئة، والصيدلة والمختبر ومختلف العلوم الأخرى، بعضها 90 وأخرى 100 في المئة».
وزير البلدية: الضباب الأصفر بدأ يخف من محطات الكهرباء
ذكر وزير شئون البلديات والزراعة جمعة الكعبي أن الوزارة تتأكد قبل إنشاء المصانع الكبيرة من عرضها على الهيئة العامة لحماية الثروة البحرية والبيئة والحياة الفطرية للتأكد أنه ليست هناك انبعاثات من هذه المصانع، وأنه فيما يتعلق ببعض المشروعات التي تم إنشاؤها في الماضي فإن نسبة الانبعاثات الصفراء بدأت تقل، والكثير لاحظ أنه ليس هناك ضباب أصفر، وخصوصا فيما يتعلق بموضوع محطة الكهرباء، وذلك في إطار الخطة التي وضعتها هذه الشركات بالتوافق مع الهيئة العامة.
جاء ذلك ردا على سؤال النائب السيدحيدر الستري بشأن ما حققته البحرين على صعيد البيئة بعد مؤتمر كوبنهاغن. وطالب الستري الحكومة بالتركيز على الاستراتيجيات البيئية لدرء المخاطر البيئية أو التخفيف منها، كما أكد الحاجة لأخذ مواقف جادة من مؤتمرات مثل مؤتمر كوبنهاغن، باعتبار أن البحرين وكدولة نامية تتضرر من التغير المناخي أكثر من المتسبب نفسه.
وقال: «يُطلب منا كدول نامية تقديم التزامات مالية لوضع حلول للمشكلات مع أننا لسنا السبب، لذلك نحن بحاجة مع الدولة النامية ليكون لنا صوت تفاوضي حتى لا تقع علينا التزامات كبيرة ونحن لم نتسبب بها، وخصوصا أن ذلك صار حقيقة واقعة، بعد مؤتمر كوبنهاغن، وقد يكون ضعف الموقف التفاوضي هو المتسبب في ذلك».
ودعا الستري وزير شئون البلديات والزراعة للتركيز على توصيات لجنة التحقيق في الدفان باعتبار أنها يمكن أن تحد من هذه المشكلة، لافتا إلى أن الوزير أكد أن الوزارة تقوم برصد ودراسات وتعتمد في التراخيص على مكاتب استشارية، آملا أن تكون هذه المكاتب غير محسوبة على المستثمر نفسه. وأيد الوزير الكعبي الحاجة إلى مراجعة الاستراتيجية البيئية لتتوافق وتنسجم مع المتغيرات الجوية.

الكعبي: نتائج دراسة انبعاثات «أبراج الاتصالات» يونيو المقبل
أكد وزير شئون البلديات والزراعة جمعة الكعبي أنه من خلال الدراسات التي تمت من خلال هيئة تنظيم الاتصالات والمكاتب المتخصصة الدولية والهيئة العامة لحماية الثروة البحرية والبيئة والحياة الفطرية، تبين أن مستويات الانبعاثات من أبراج الاتصالات أقل من المستوى المسموح به، وتم تعيين شركة خاصة للتأكد من أن مستوى الانبعاثات من أن هذه الأبراج أقل من المعدل المسموح به، على أن يتم الإعلان عن الدراسة في شهر يونيو/ حزيران المقبل.
جاء ذلك ردا على سؤال النائب عبدالله الدوسري بشأن أضرار أبراج الاتصالات، الذي تساءل: «ألا يجدر أن يُؤخذ بالشكل الجمالي خلال تركيب أبراج الاتصالات؟ كما أني لم أرَ أن الهيئة العامة لحماية البيئة تقوم بزيارة أماكن تركيب الأبراج، ولدي الكثير من الأمثلة من الأبراج التي لم تقم هذه المؤسسة بزيارتها».
فيما أكد الوزير الكعبي أن هناك بعض الأبراج المخالفة التي تم اتخاذ الإجراءات القانونية في شأنها.

هددت باستجوابها إذا لم تتعاون
«كتلة المنبر» تطالب الحكومة بالتعاون مع لجان التحقيق البرلمانية
الوسط - المحرر البرلماني
طالبت كتلة المنبر الوطني الإسلامي في بيان لها أمس (الثلثاء) الحكومة بضرورة التعاون مع لجان التحقيق البرلمانية وخاصة لجنتي التحقيق في أملاك الدولة وطيران الخليج، وأن تتخذ ما يلزم من الإجراءات لتصحيح الأخطاء ولعلاج الخلل والقصور وللحد من التجاوزات التي قامت بها عدد من الجهات الحكومية وكلفت الدولة مئات الملايين من الدنانير.
وهددت باستخدام جميع الأدوات الرقابية بما في ذلك الاستجواب وذلك بعد التنسيق مع الكتل الأخرى إذا لم تتعاون الحكومة مع لجان التحقيق مع أخذ ما ورد من توصيات ونتائج لهذه اللجان على محمل الجد واتخاذ قرارات بشأنها تعيد الحق للمواطنين ولموازنة الدولة.
وأكدت الكتلة أن «لجنة التحقيق في أملاك الدولة التي انتهت من كتابة تقريرها عملت بكل مهنية وحرفية وشاركنا في تشكيل هذه اللجنة وتبين لنا بالفعل وجود تجاوزات صارخة في عدد من الجهات الحكومية، لذا نعلن دعمنا للجنة وللخطوات التي سيتم اتخاذها من جانب أعضائها».
كما طالبت الكتلة في بيانها بأن «ترد الأموال العامة والأراضي التي صودرت إلى أملاك الدولة وإلا فجميع الخيارات مفتوحة أمامنا وبالتنسيق مع بقية الكتلة لإرجاع حقوق الوطن والمواطنين في القريب العاجل». مؤكدة أهمية الدور الذي تلعبه لجان التحقيق في المجلس في كشف التجاوزات والفساد، موضحة «كان الأحرى هو أن تتعامل الحكومة مع هذه اللجان بإيجابية للكشف عما يجري من خروقات وتجاوزات تخالف الدستور والقانون وتعدٍ على المال العام، وليس النظر إليها بعين الريبة، كون هذه اللجان بمثابة فرص عادلة لجميع الأطراف لتبيان موقفها وبيان وجهة نظرها والوقوف على الحقيقة».
وأضاف الكتلة أنه لا يمكن السكوت على الفساد متى تبين وجوده حتى وإن كان في نهاية الدورة الانتخابية، لأن محاربة الفساد لا تقتصر على وقت دون غيره كونه ينخر في التنمية ويهدد الاقتصاد الوطني في كل وقت وحين. مشيرة إلى أن عدم تعاون الحكومة وتسويفها مع النواب في المراحل الأولى للأدوات الرقابية فيما يتعلق بالسؤال والاقتراح برغبة والتي تضمنت القضايا المطروحة من خلال لجان التحقيق هو الذي دفع المجلس إلى التصعيد وتشكيل لجان التحقيق وهذا حق منحه إياه الدستور والقانون.
وأكد بيان الكتلة أن «لجان التحقيق في ممتلكات وطيران الخليج شكلهما مجلس النواب ولزاما على الحكومة بنص الدستور والقانون التعاون مع هذه اللجان في أداء مهامها لإظهار الحقائق»، مستدركة «لكن وللأسف الشديد دأبت الحكومة على التسويف وعدم التعاون مع هذه اللجان بما يعد اعتداء على السلطة التشريعية وتجاوزا من جانبها للمشروع الإصلاحي لجلالة الملك الذي أكد ضرورة الشراكة والتعاون بين السلطات الثلاث».
