NCRI - A representative of Iranian regime’s parliament from Tehran admitted widespread corruption in the regime and said: “Corruption in the government is more than before the 1979 revolution (in Iran).”
According to ILNA news agency, Mahmoud Sadeghi, member of parliament from Tehran and head of “transparency and economic health-making and financial discipline fraction” in the regime’s parliament, in a speech at Amir Kabir University in Tehran once again criticized corruption in the government institutions and the reaction of the Judiciary to his question in the parliament (regarding the report on head of Judiciary’s bank accounts).
He stated that “one of the government losses is seeking hegemony” and said: “My argument is that why 38 years after the Islamic revolution our situation in combating corruption is worse than the monarchic (Shah’s) government. Wasn’t the Islamic Republic established to fight corruption?”
Answering his own question, Sadeghi said if the principle of separation of the powers (three branches of governing) is implemented, the context (ground) for fighting corruption will be prepared. He stated: “A representative has the right to question and investigate in all issues, but some interpretations by the Guardian Council create restrictions which in my opinion is contrary to the text of the law. I merely asked the gentleman a question about the religious and legal aspect of these (bank) accounts. Well, tell (us) what is it? Is this too weird?”
Earlier, Mahmoud Sadeghi called for transparency regarding bank accounts of the head of Judiciary, Sadegh Amoli Larijani. Before Sadeghi’s action, the issue of Larijani’s personal bank accounts was raised in the cyberspace and social media.
