Iraq PM jokes government will be corruption-free due to lack of funds
Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi recently made a lighthearted remark regarding the nation's economic struggles. While addressing the issue of deep-rooted corruption in Iraq, al-Zaidi stated, "God willing, our government will be free of corruption...because there's no money anyway." As oil income continues to drop, a government minister noted that the country requires $8.24 billion monthly to manage essential expenses and salary payments.
