Husain Shahristani on precedent and accountability

From Al-Jazeera, Shahristani highlights what a good precedent the CPA set for the Iraqi government:
"It is very well known in the country that the corruption is very widespread from the police to the judicial systems ... as a matter of fact Iraq has never known the level of corruption prevailing now," Shahristani said.

"A lot of public funds have gone missing under the Coalition Provisional Authority ... and even now," he said, of the disbanded US occupation authority.

Shahristani ... vowed the next government would review all suspect contracts made under the Allawi cabinet.

"One thing we are going to pursue is that all suspicious contracts should be properly examined and any funds that have been misused should be returned to the public ... and these things should be explained to the Iraqi people," he said.

I wonder who will review the suspect contracts made under the next government? Maybe the government after that.
