Khamis al-Khanjar, head of the Siyada Alliance, affirmed his full support for recent judicial and security measures targeting corruption cases and state fund recovery, describing them as a great step. Al-Khanjar stated in a declaration that "these procedures, implemented across the capital Baghdad and several provinces to pursue corruption files and reclaim public funds, represent a significant stride in enforcing the law against all proven to be involved in misusing public money or exploiting their position for illegal gains." He highly commended the Supreme Judicial Council's national role and Prime Minister Ali Zaidi's government, appreciating their efforts to protect public assets. Al-Khanjar underscored that "combating corruption is a key pillar for state-building and restoring public trust in its institutions." The Siyada Alliance head urged all political forces, civil society groups, media, and national elites to back these measures, cautioning against any attempts to obstruct or influence them. He also called for denying cover to any corrupt individual, irrespective of their status or affiliations.
