Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi is expected to divide the confrontation with his party (the call) on several stages in the change of heads of independent bodies.
The party controls most of the more than 20 bodies. The prime minister plans to appoint technocrats for a number of independent bodies.
Abadi used the same scenario in the process of replacing the government cab, but he stumbled a lot before he could change less than half the government and keep three ministries vacant so far.
The prime minister was delayed by three years, before announcing last week that he would open the application for private positions in those institutions.
And criticized the political parties delayed the resolution of the file of independent bodies, considering that the timing of opening the door to the occupancy of bodies suggests that the Prime Minister is looking for "political propaganda."
As part of the government program he presented to parliament before taking office, Abadi pledged to end the phenomenon of acting state administration. MP Rasul Abu Hasna, a member of the Dawa Party, said that "the government will begin to receive the names of candidates for the presidency of independent bodies on the first of next September." Abadi said during a conference held last Wednesday that "independent bodies must come out of the quotas and be truly independent," adding that "inequality of opportunity and injustice leads to injustice, corruption and the destruction of society."
All 27 bodies are administered in an Agency manner. Political parties hold former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki responsible for running the proxy posts.
Abadi's office had said, days after taking office, that it would form a "committee of academics and experts" to set standards for the occupants of special grades.
Committee gives birth to a committee
"The prime minister will not pay attention to quotas and will depend on efficiency in choosing the heads of independent bodies," Abu Hasna said in an interview with Al-Mada. "The government has set up a committee in this regard."

Alliance of forces to the Kurdish delegation: We reject the Kurdistan referendum in Kirkuk and the disputed areas
The coalition of Iraqi forces during a meeting with the Kurdish delegation, on Sunday, rejected the referendum of Kurdistan in Kirkuk and the disputed areas, expressing his fear of the referendum because of outstanding problems in those areas.
The coalition's media office said in a statement received that "a delegation from the coalition headed by the head of the parliamentary bloc Salah al-Jubouri received this morning, a delegation from the Kurdistan Alliance headed by Roh Nuri Shaways at the headquarters of the Speaker of the House of Representatives."
The office added that "the two sides discussed some important political files, particularly the issue of the referendum, which the Kurdistan Regional Government intends to conduct on the twenty-fifth of next September."
"He stressed Jubouri, according to the statement," the refusal of mass to conduct a referendum in Kirkuk and all areas that lie outside the borders of the region, "noting that" we are not opposed to holding this referendum within the region. "
He added that "the alliance of forces, which represents the majority Sunni lives in the provinces and cities and regions adjacent to the region is very afraid of holding this referendum because there are problems remained unresolved and not resolved over the past period, which caused a source of concern for them."
"The insistence on holding the referendum under the pretext of the right to self-determination in accordance with Article 140, the other political parties, will be taken from Article 143 of the Constitution as a starting point, so this insistence will not serve the Iraqi people, whether Kurds or Arabs."
"We are not against the right of self-determination and we are not against the freedom of the Iraqi people to choose the regime they wish to implement, but we believe that holding the referendum at this time is not in the interest of the Iraqi people and foremost the Kurdish people. Therefore we are with dialogue to dissolve all differences and outstanding problems and apply all The unification of Iraq, land and people. "
For his part, the Kurdish delegation stressed that "with one unified Iraq, the land and the people and we are not with the establishment of states in this country and we are with any dialogue aimed at giving the Kurds their rights that we hoped to take after the advent of the new democratic government in Iraq."

Saad al-Hadithi, a spokesman for the prime minister's office in early 2016, announced the formation of a special committee comprising experts from within and outside the prime minister to lay the foundations and conditions for appointing senior cadres in the country, from ministries, consultants and special degrees.
A previous commission, called the Balance Committee, began work on rebalancing the government's balance between an independent body and a deputy minister. The committee included Rose Nuri Shaways, Saleh al-Mutlaq, Ali al-Alaq, Salman al-Jumaili and Baha al-Araji. The Balance Committee ended the distribution of 17 posts, before disappearing in government reforms in August 2015.
The MP Abu Hasna that "the new committee began studying the names of candidates for a number of bodies, as the prime minister will not put all the bodies at once."
In his last conference, Abadi said that he has two sets of independent bodies, which will be announced in two stages. He said that he "opened the door for competent citizens as a first step to end the appointment by proxy, and we want to take correct steps for political and economic reform and this step on the right path."
The current wisdom, headed by Ammar al-Hakim, that, before splitting, suggested to the Prime Minister to open the door for the nomination of citizens to fill sensitive positions.
Abadi is not serious
"The prime minister is not serious about changing the independent bodies, otherwise why has this period been delayed," said MP Mohammed al-Lakash, a member of the political bureau of the al-Hakim faction.
"Al-Abadi chose the last months in his term because he knows he will not be able to change the independent bodies," he said. "The Dawa party controls 90 percent of the independent bodies and will not give up easily."
Last September, information on the prime minister's processing of 22 candidates for positions in independent bodies was leaked, but he has not yet been named.
On the other hand, he believes that "the political blocs will work to blackmail the government if the Prime Minister names to vote."
A member of the current Hakim that "Abbadi is looking for early propaganda, even if the names to parliament will not vote blocks without obtaining quotas in the bodies."
The National Alliance was supposed to get 15 bodies, according to the political agreement that preceded the formation of the government of Abbadi, compared to 11 Sunni and Kurdish forces, and one of the Christian component, as well as the bodies of the endowments.
But the Sadrists and the Supreme Council at the time, confirmed that the Dawa Party and the rule of law alone control 17 independent bodies.
Despite the announcement of the Prime Minister to open the door to stand for independent bodies, but MP Rasul Abu Hasna believes that "the file of the bodies will not resolve this session." "The choice of names will not end until the end of the year, and its time will be almost paralyzed."
Local and legislative elections are supposed to take place in April next year.
In turn, MP Ali al-Badiri, head of the Dawa Party organization of the interior, said that "the Islamic call will not leave its share in those bodies, and will not vote on alternative names."
"The prime minister should submit the curricula vitae of the candidates early in front of the parliament, not as in the selection of ministers," al-Badairi told Al-Mada.
In contrast, the MP warned of the agreement Abbadi with leaders of political blocs to nominate "technocrats belonging to parties," threatening "not to vote a lot of deputies in that case."
"In the selection of replacement ministers last year, we voted for Christianity, Ann Nafie, to the Housing Ministry, to discover later that she was a candidate from Ali al-Adeeb, and we will not repeat this mistake again," he said.
