Shafaq News/ Kurdistan’s Parliament Speaker Rewaz Faiq Hussein distanced herself from any financial corruption, confirming that the Regional Government (KRG) refused to attend a private meeting for discussing the issue of deducting the salaries of public sector employees. 

“I'm not part of corruption, I don't own oil companies, I don't waste customs resources and state’s money, and I can't be a cover for protecting corrupt people, history is merciless”. Hussein said when asked about the cause of Kurdistan’s financial crisis.
