Firing officials with fake certificates, limiting the drinking of alcohol, CCTV’s, and electricity issues were some of the main subjects of discussion at the Kirkuk Provincial Council meeting where it was decided to increase the power provision to 24-hour-per-day in June.

The regular session of the KPC was held on May 29 and was attended by all the members of the Council.

Azad Jabari, a member of the council talked about the session saying, “After 2003, shops selling alcohol have increased which has had a negative impact on people, especially in houses and alleys.”

He added, “We raised some suggestions, such as having a formal license to sell alcohol, as well as not selling it in the alleys as not to limit people’s freedom.”

He said some youths drive faster due to being drunk, which causes accidents.

Nasrin Khalid, another member of the council talked about the sessions by saying that “A discussion on privately-owned power generators was held as well as the decision to provide 24-hour electricity per hour to people from June.”

She added, “When public electricity is off, the privately-owned generators will work, receiving three thousand Iraqi dinars per one ampere. They will be provided with 15 liters of gasoline per each KV.”

Khalid also talked about setting up CCTV’s in all of the governmental institutions to monitor their security.

She also said the Law Committee of the Iraqi Parliament has sent a formal order to investigate all officials holding fake certificates due to the law number 76 of 2009.

According to the law, “Each and every province which does not hold its Provincial Council, district council and other officials accountable (to their certificates) will be held responsible, as they should be fired.

A harvester while working in Kirkuk

The product of wheat and barely in Kirkuk reached 280 thousand tons, as the director of Agriculture Department said it’s the highest in the last decade.

Mehdi Mubarak director of Agriculture Department said, “Harvesting season in Kirkuk has begun, as 250 thousand tons of grain have been produced in 650 thousand acres of land.”

700 harvesters are sawing on the daily bases, sending the product into Kirkuk silos according to Mubarak. “We asked the Iraqi government to open two more silos for us, as the other cannot hold becaue of business, they opened Duz silo of grain products of Duz, and Shirgat for Zab, Abbasi and Hawija.”

He urged the farmers not to rush while sending their grain products, as they accept grain until late July in five silos, “Until present, 20 thousand tons of wheat and barely are sent to the silos.”

An increase in the power provision is clearly reflected now with the number of shops selling expensive air conditioners on the rise, as people leave the use of the trusted ventilators for the more high-tech air conditioning systems.

The Kirkuk Electricity Directorate is currently providing nearly 22 hours of electricity to people, as it has subsequently led to a rise in air conditioner use.

Sozan Rashid, a worker, was searching for her favorite air conditioner and said that “The air conditioner is nicer and cooler. Electricity has improved, why not buy it?” Some people do not want their traditional coolers, as air conditioners are easier to use.

The buyers of air conditioners have risen in the past two months compared to the past. Shop keepers say they currently sell three times more than normal.

Kirkuk electricity has risen from 300 megawatts to 450, as some days 24 hour per day is given to people. The rise is an incentive for people to buy air conditioners.

Sarwar As’ad, a resident of Shorija said, “Now we can get the benefit from electricity and change from coolers to air conditioners.” He added, “Due to a shortage of water, using ventilators was hard in some parts of Kirkuk, and that’s why I bought an air conditioner.”

Star Abdulla says most of the people ask for air conditioners with the brand General, Samsung and Konka, as they are famous for requiring more power for use, “I sell 20 to 35 air conditioners on the daily basis.”



Engineer Ali Raouf, director of the Electricity Distribution of South of Kirkuk said the increase in public power makes people use air conditioners more than is needed. The power lines are under a huge pressure, as the officials urge people to cooperate in order to improve electricity.

Engineer Raouf said, “Sometimes electricity cuts off somewhere, it’s not the issue of power provision but the volts were not enough. People should cooperate with the power provision.”

“We’ll do some legal procedures if we see waste in using power,” Raouf said.

In the history of Kirkuk, electricity provisions were improved to the levels they are today, as was the case in the years1980 to 1990, when there also was a production of 20 hours per day.

Experts expect a shortage in using electricity if a limit is not imposed on air conditioners.

Barham Muhamad, an electrical engineer said, “The Electricity Distribution Network has shortages and is questioning the overuse of power through their teams.”
