Five years of procrastination in the Touba and Nakheel oil extraction project in Basra Governorate.
Residents of the Touba and Nakheelah areas called on the oil refinery to complete the project, which has been delayed for several years and was supposed to be completed more than two years ago. They called on the Prime Minister to follow up on the Basra projects that the governorate's office referred directly to companies that had won several projects but were unable to complete all of their work.

Basra residents called on the Integrity Commission and parliamentary committees to open an investigation into the direct referrals file and the increase in project costs, despite the fact that the referral amounts are imaginary.
