Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi sacked on Thursday a number of officials at the electricity ministry “in order to reorganize the operation of the ministry in the service of the country”, his office said in a statement.

The dismissal of four directors and a number of others was the latest attempt to quell public anger over chronic power cuts.

Those sacked were in charge of investments, contracts, distribution and administration at the ministry.
