A group of nearly 30 former Iraqi oil ministry officials and experts, living both in Iraq and the diaspora, have written a letter of stinging critique of the management and politicization of the country's oil sector, and demanded Parliament take responsibility.
The letter, which is critical of Iraq's Kurdistan region's oil policy specifically and the general lax management by Baghdad of the nation's sole source of revenue, was sent to Iraq Oil Report by one of the signatories and confirmed by others.
