dijlahpoint - A member of the Parliamentary Oil, Gas, and Natural Resources Committee revealed the existence of pressures and policies aimed at hindering anti-corruption efforts within the Ministry of Oil. He pointed out that the Minister of Oil rejected a letter issued by the Prime Minister's Office nominating an individual for the position of Director General of the Oil Products Distribution Company, based on the nominee's affiliation with the same entity that previously managed the company and his ties to a former director arrested on corruption charges. The committee confirmed that parties affected by the reforms are launching an attack against the minister, explaining that managing important positions by proxy is a temporary measure to counter pressures until competent and honest individuals are selected.
