| Description | Bremer Forms Boards to Aid Iraq Transfer
The Honolulu Advertiser
With fewer than 100 days until power is handed over to Iraqis, the top U.S. administrator said Wednesday he was establishing several Western-style institutions that are expected to put a moderating influence on the fledgling government that takes over June 30. "One hundred days from now, Iraqis will be sovereign in their own land and responsible for their own future," Bremer said in an outdoor speech in the Green Zone, the heavily protected area housing coalition headquarters in central Baghdad.
Bremer said he would set up an Iraqi Defense Ministry and a national security Cabinet later this week. He said he was in the midst of appointing inspectors general to each of Iraq's 25 government ministries, while also creating a government auditing board and an anti-corruption commission. Bremer said work was under way to establish a public broadcasting service and an independent panel to regulate it. |
