Mousa Ahmadi, the head of the Energy Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, detailed the meeting with Mohsen Pak Nejad, the Minister of Oil, during today's session (Tuesday, September 31). The main goal of this meeting was for the Minister of Oil to respond to the questions of the representatives, and many ambiguities had been resolved prior to this meeting through preliminary sessions.
Review of Representatives' Questions
Ahmadi explained: "Through preliminary meetings between the questioning representatives and the deputies of the Minister of Oil, the majority of the representatives withdrew their questions, leaving only two questions. These two questions were raised by Mr. Houshang Hadianpour, the representative of Shazand, and Mr. Mohammad Kab' Amir, the representative of Shush. Given the importance of these issues, it was decided to form specialized committees with the presence of the questioning representatives and members of the commission's board to carefully examine the details and dimensions of these issues."

Responsibilities of the Energy Commission of the Assembly
The head of the Energy Commission emphasized the importance of the commission's activities, stating: "The Energy Commission is obligated to follow up and examine the questions of representatives directed at the relevant ministers based on its internal regulations. In this regard, face-to-face meetings provide an opportunity for representatives' concerns to be directly addressed with the minister and his deputies, and ambiguities to be resolved."
This meeting reflects the parliament's efforts to strengthen oversight over the Ministry of Oil and respond to the representatives. Especially in the current situation where the country's oil and energy industry faces multiple challenges, transparency and accountability in this area are of special importance. In this regard, holding specialized sessions and close interaction between representatives and the Ministry of Oil can help improve the current situation.
Ultimately, considering the various dimensions of the issues raised in this meeting, it is expected that the results of these investigations will soon be communicated to the public in the form of specialized reports. This process can serve as a model for other ministries and government institutions in terms of greater transparency and accountability.
