NCRI – Sadeq Ziba Kalam, from Rafsanjani’s band, in a letter to Rouhani on Saturday September 3 admitted the aspects and dimensions of corruption in the clerical regime.
The state-run Asr-e Iran news agency which published the letter, quoted him as saying: “The volume of economic corruption has increased so much in the society that very few week passes in which the news about a new economic corruption does not come out. Even if we leave advanced societies aside, does any society equivalent to our own have any economic corruption even close to the statistics of economic corruption is in Iran?
“The greatest service that you can do in the fight against corruption is that from the position of the President ask this basic and simple question: ‘What happened to us that economic corruption has become so common in our society?’ Do other countries also have so many devices, organizations and institutions that our system has for control, security, protection, and inspection (of people)…?
“Does in other societies essentially exist so much care, obsession, review, scrutiny and ideological, political, moral, intelligence and security investigations that we apply in the process of nomination, selection, recruitment and appointment of our managements? We know that the answer to all of these questions is negative. We ask ourselves why is that in other societies where there are not so many institutions for security, arrest and detention or no insistence that their managers must be religious and support their system, there is neither a crime called ‘Corruption on Earth’ nor anyone has been executed for this crime and they don’t have a tenth or perhaps one-hundredth of the economic corruption that we have?”
Ziba Kalam added: “”The problem is the ailing, inefficient and corrupt economy of the government ruling our country. The only successful product of the Iranian state economy has been corruption, corruption and more corruption.”
