Kawa Abdulqadir, former Iraqi MP and member of the New Generation Movement, strongly criticized the Kurdistan Regional Government's (KRG) lighting project, calling it illegal and detrimental to public interest. Speaking on Thursday, July 10, 2025, Abdulqadir confirmed that a formal complaint has been filed with the Federal Court to halt the initiative.
He stated that the project’s high cost serves only the interests of companies affiliated with the PUK and KDP, warning that "if implemented, it would turn the entire population into tenants of the two ruling parties.” Abdulqadir also argued that the outgoing government lacks the authority to make such major decisions and should be limited to managing daily affairs.
He further accused the government of raising electricity prices 13 times under the name of the lighting project, and cautioned that the New Generation Movement will pursue all legal avenues against any violations.
