Sulaimaniya - Reports suggest the squabble over the allocation of security posts may last longer.
The Iraqi parliament gave confidence to part of the 42-seated cabinet of the reinstated Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki Dec.21. Some ministries including the defense, interior and state ministry for national security are temporary run by the PM himself until the new ministers are assigned.
Adl Barwari, the PM advisor for the Kurdistan Region affairs told AKnews Saturday according to the statements by the PM and the leader of al-Iraqiya bloc, Ayad Allawi, the candidates for the security posts will be voted to throughout this week.
The presidency of the Intelligence Organization, which Kurds claim, is also among the suspended security posts.
Barwari quoted Allawi as saying he has named five candidates only for defense ministry.
Allawi is the leader of the second largest parliamentary bloc, al-Iraqiya.
Lana Mohammed another Kurdish lawmaker also believed voting on the security posts' candidates is one of the priorities in the agenda of parliament for this week, along with discussing the report about the demands of the Iraqi protesters.
In the past eight days citizens in a number of central and southern Iraqi provinces took into streets, condemning the government for poverty, joblessness, corruption and lack of basic services in the country. The rallies led to violence, killing at least 12 people and wounding dozens. The protesters in Baghdad were convinced their demands will be looked at and were sent back home.
Citing to AKnews, Sad Matlabi said so far there is no agreement over the candidates for the security posts, adding negotiation over the posts still continues.
Matlabi is a deputy form the State of Law Coalition (SLC), headed by Maliki.
He believed there are two possibilities for naming the candidates; "either Maliki will hand the candidates' names to the Council of Ministers, whether or not the blocs have agreed on them, or he may delay the list until the blocs reach an agreement over the issue."
Nahida Dayni, from al-Iraqiya said she will blame on Maliki not "the political blocs" any delay in voting.
"He has promised to submit the names for voting throughout this week and any delay in so doing sources from more deliberating on sharing the posts."
