Al-Abboudi said in a press interview, which "Video News Agency" viewed, that "there is no government decision to remove the zeros from the currency and that it is not within their authority," explaining that "the Ministry of Finance is working on counting contract employees and studying the costs of stabilizing them.".

He added that "the anti-corruption campaign has achieved important results and the pursuit of corrupt individuals is ongoing and investigations with the accused of corruption are still ongoing."

He pointed out that "Al-Zaydi donated from his own funds to provide services to 10,000 plots of land, and that the million plots initiative is part of housing solution plans," emphasizing that "the application procedures for the lands are free and even the land plots are granted for free, and the Ministry of Justice will adopt the verification of the data of applicants for land plots."
