Two days before a parliament vote of confidence on the new government, Iraqi Prime Minister-designate Mohammed Tawfiq Allawi revealed a “plot” aimed at preventing the cabinet from being approved.

While political bloc have still not reached a final decision on voting for the cabinet, Allawi wrote on his official Facebook page that he uncovered a plot against the confidence vote “because passing the government would mean an end to thefts.”

“Ministries will be managed by independent and impartial ministers,” he added. He said the plot calls for paying hefty sums to lawmakers so that they would not reveal their vote.
