Al-Asadi reveals his powers as Dhi Qar's governor
Shafaq News/ The assigned interim governor of Dhi Qar, head of the National Security Service Abdul Ghani Al-Asadi, said on Wednesday that he has broad powers as the local government's head.
Al-Asadi mentioned in his speech to the department heads in the headquarters of Dhi Qar governorate, "I have extensive powers, and I ask you to work with me hand in hand for we will not be taking regression as an answer."
"It is unacceptable to see 16-year-olds dying for simply demanding the most basic rights," he added, "I was surprised to know a bridge bombed in 1991 by F16 aircraft is yet to be repaired despite the availability of financial budgets for the governorate."
