An official source said the government is due to release the names of blacklisted companies and officials involved in corruption cases, the ruling party-affiliated weekly reported on its front page. It added that the corruption cases were reported to courts nationwide and that the national reform agenda includes a network for information exchange between various official bodies concerned with public money. The newspaper learned that the parliamentary committee, concerned with verifying credentials of candidates applying for Anti-Corruption Authority seats, received complaints from citizens against some candidates. The complaints demanded the concerned committee to verify all the credentials and bio-data of those included in the list, which parliament forwarded to the Shoura Council.
According to Al-Methaq weekly, the official sources don't rule out that the same list will be forwarded to Parliament although MPs are insisting on the necessity of filling out all the required information and meeting the requirements stipulated by the law.
