According to Khabaronline news agency, Mohammad Rashidi, about the criteria for choosing the oil minister by the president and how the new oil minister should follow up on the issue of trusts and petrochemical corruption, said: “For the election of the new oil minister, the parliament has several indicators for this issue that are important to it.” According to the Energy Commission, one of these indicators is that the selected person is proficient in affairs and has knowledge of the body and structure of the Ministry of Oil.
According to Ilna’s report, this member of the Energy Commission of the Islamic Council continued: The person who is selected for the Ministry of Oil must have a position, dignity and records in this system to manage the Ministry of Oil.
Feevi pointed out: Usually, the body of the Ministry of Oil hardly accepts a person from outside the group, and establishing a relationship happens later. We are in a difficult situation of sanctions and the new minister must have a lot of knowledge so that he can start working immediately after being introduced and receiving a vote of confidence and be able to advance the difficult conditions that exist now.
Rashidi added: There are many topics; including the issues of construction, field development, increasing pressure, and also the events that happened to our refineries during the war; The restoration, construction and repair of these refineries all require high awareness and careful input. Therefore, it is necessary to select a person who has complete petroleum capabilities and is from the body of the Ministry of Petroleum.
The new minister should follow up the case of trustees and traders
Referring to the issue of trustees and traders, this member of the Energy Commission stated: Many issues have been raised during this period; Including the issue of trustees and traders, although these two categories are different from each other, but they are close to each other. Also, the issues that exist in petrochemicals, some of which are affected by trusts, are all issues that today’s parliament and even public opinion have serious demands and sensitivities.
He clarified: From this point of view, the work of the new minister is really difficult; Because he must follow some of the issues related to war. The sale of oil in the conditions of embargo and blockade, the return of our oil money and the issues that have existed in the field of trusts and traders and possibly the violations and corruptions that have occurred in this field, should be followed up in order to be able to deal with them and prevent their recurrence; Because the situation should not become more difficult for us in these war conditions.
This member of the Presidium of the Islamic Council emphasized: All these cases create difficult working conditions and a person must be selected who has both managerial dignity and oil expertise. These two characteristics must be gathered in a person to be able to walk this path.
He expressed his hope that the government will introduce its proposed minister as soon as possible and said: a ministry that is managed by a supervisor in this situation will definitely be less successful. God willing, the parliament will also investigate and vote based on the indicators that I presented.
Most of the oil money sold during the lifting of the embargo has returned
In response to a question about the status of 80 barrels of oil sold during the war and that it is claimed that it is not known who owns the money for the sold oil and how much of it was returned, Rashidi said: I do not know. We sold oil during the war, but the money is coming back. Most of it, as I said, is back. The report that the Ministry of Oil gave us was that most of the oil money that was sold in the twenty days that the blockade was lifted has returned. If some of it hasn’t come back yet, I don’t know about it.
