The decisions taken by the Council of Ministers yesterday, Tuesday, fulfilled the demands of many citizens, especially those from economically fragile groups, and were based on the paternal vision of Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani, whose work I accompanied when he was Minister of Labor and Social Affairs. I recorded in my book (Behind the Curtains of Decision) many of his humanitarian decisions as well as his positions. Firm management that prevented the waste of large sums of money.
Caring for vulnerable groups is a moral, humanitarian and legal obligation, and Mr. Al-Sudani fulfilled this obligation well by increasing the salaries of retirees who earn one million dinars or less, as well as increasing the salaries of the lowest grades of employees by 50 percent, as well as allocating 3 billion dinars to provide aid to the people of the Gaza Strip who They suffer as a result of Zionist military actions.

The timing of the decisions was appropriate to relieve the burden on many citizens as a result of the rise in the prices of some goods and commodities and the beginning of the school year. It is also a smart timing because it coincides with the election campaigns where some forces are trying to win over the citizens with unrealistic promises, while the decisions were decisive and realistic and at the same time without a political goal because Mr. Sudanese does not have a party or alliance that runs in the governorate council elections in any way, while some officials were and still are, unfortunately, making decisions with electoral motives to win votes. Because they are ill-considered decisions and because the citizen knows their goals, they always fail to win votes and turn into politically harmful scandals.

These decisions of the Council of Ministers deserve praise, appreciation and support from all political forces. Although the President of the Council was the first mover in making them, they were collective decisions of the government that represents the entire Iraqi political spectrum.
