Salah, as mentioned above, there is indeed a move in parliament headed by State of Law to sack the commission, and this is the same development linked to in your story about the 114 deputies above. Hamidiyya al-Husseini used to be considered to be somewhat close to State of Law so with her gone they may have lost some influence in the commission and they will have even more incentives to get rid of it.
Faisal, I read that Wasat are terrified that their ministers will get axed in any process of making the government smaller, which resonates with what you describe above. There is an interesting headline just out at NINA but the full story isn’t available yet:
نائبة عن /العراقية/ تدعو الى ان يشمل الترشيق في اجهزة الدولة نواب رئيسي الجمهورية والوزراء
Suggesting a female Iraqiyya deputy is asking for the process of shrinking of government to include the deputy PMs and the deputy presidents!
THE death toll rose to 24 from two separate coalmining accidents on the same day in Ukraine's eastern industrial district, notorious for its poor safety standards.
The Ukrainian emergency ministry on Saturday raised the toll from 16 to 18 from an explosion early yesterday at the Sukhodolskaya-Vostochnaya coalmine in the eastern Lugansk region.
Eight miners were still missing, while two remained in hospital with serious burns after the blast, probably caused by a buildup of deadly methane gas.
The toll also rose to six after a mine headframe collapsed at the Bazhanova pit in the town of Makiyivka in neighbouring Donetsk region, while rescuers continued to search for five missing miners.
The 65-metre-high frame used for raising and lowering miners into the shaft collapsed yesterday, trapping workers underneath. The accident forced the closure of the mine and the evacuation of more than 500 miners.

The twin disasters were the country's worst mining accidents since more than 100 miners died in a mine explosion in 2007.
President Viktor Yanukovych interrupted his holiday to travel to the scene of the Sukhodolskaya-Vostochnaya accident late yesterday and meet the relatives of victims and survivors.
He called for a government commission to investigate the disasters, calling for improved safety standards to protect miners.
Deadly accidents are frequent in Ukrainian mines, most of which are located in the country's industrial eastern region. Many of the mines are underfunded and poorly equipped, while safety violations are rife.
