Ministry of Construction and Housing of Iraq : ( 01/05/2004 - 01/06/2005 )
- Minister
-
While a Minister within the Iraq interim government, he took up the responsibility of re-building war torn establishments of that ministry which plays a focal role in re-construction efforts. When he first took up responsibility there, the commissions which authorize housing projects, roads, bridges and general buildings were mostly looted and destroyed by post-war turbulence. While there, he was able to capacity build the various consultative and contractual organizations of the ministry in addition to all engineering consultation centres and contracting companies lying under the umbrella of the ministry. By the time he left the ministry, he was very happy to see that they have resumed their proper activities due to outstanding efforts spent by hundreds of engineers, administrators and technicians while he was in charge. Not only that, but also the Iraq House Holding Fund organization was started under his administration. It offers loans to low income people in order to have them build their own residential units. Again, he is very happy to know that this facility, which was started while he was a minister, is continuing to provide help to those in need of housing units. Moreover, a vast number of governmental buildings at large were rejuvenated under his directives including and not confined to the Parliament of Iraq, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Water Resources headquarters. The commencement of housing complexes, new roads and bridges and special purpose buildings like schools, hospitals, convention centres,…etc. constructions were planned and started executions then under his direct supervision. Many of them now are serving the community properly.
