Mr. Minister of Welfare, it is time to wake up! While poor workers and retirees are being plundered of their assets, corruption and post-selling in the ministry have reached a level that has astonished everyone.
The Behind-the-Scenes of Corruption at Petrochemical
The recent incident, which involves Ali Panahi, the CEO of the Saba Energy holding affiliated with the Ministry of Welfare, attempting to sell the board chair and CEO position of Jam Petrochemical to Bahman Behzadi, has made headlines. Behzadi, who has a dark history in the petrochemical industry and has been fired from two major companies, now intends to obtain this hot seat with Panahi's help.
Panahi, known as a professional post broker in the Ministry of Welfare, has advanced so far in this path that he can be likened to Nayeb-Hossein Kashi, the infamous bandit of the Qajar era. However, this time he is not only selling the minister's chair and pants but is also seeking a billion-dollar deal that could impact the future of petrochemicals.
Corrupt Gangs and Media Support
Concerns about this level of corruption have even increased in the country's wartime conditions. In addition to Panahi's network, another gang led by Alireza Siyasi, the CEO of Tasico and the contracting company Pana-Sanat, is also financially supporting corrupt media movements. These movements aim to back Behzadi and conceal his corruption at Jam Petrochemical.
It seems that the table of Jam Petrochemical looks very wide and greasy in the eyes of these individuals. Is it not time to raise our voices louder and defend the rights of workers and retirees?
