Prime Minister Ali Falih Al-Zaidi issued a directive on Monday to launch an investigation into the Chairman of the Maysan Provincial Council, Mustafa Du'air Abd al-Hasan, following his recent remarks regarding the Al-Shib border crossing.
In a statement received by the Iraq Times agency, the Prime Minister’s Media Office noted that "Prime Minister Ali Falih Al-Zaidi has ordered an investigation into the Chairman of the Maysan Provincial Council, Mustafa Du'air Abd al-Hasan, in light of statements he made yesterday, Sunday—statements that included a threat to declare a state of civil disobedience if the Al-Shib border crossing were not opened, as well as the use of inappropriate language."
The statement added that "this directive underscores the necessity of adhering to the law and following constitutional and administrative procedures when addressing service-related and administrative matters, while leaving the determination of any legal liability arising from these statements to the competent authorities."
Following threats of insubordination, Al-Zaidi orders an investigation into the head of the Maysan Provincial Council.
