Interview: Iraq’s Minister of Electricity

Iraq Oil Report posed this quandary to Karim Waheed Hasan, the minister of electricity. He also talked about whether he will stay on a minister in the new government and what is holding back his master plan (and what he's doing to manage it, like importing fuel and electricity from Iran).
