The court said in clarification that sent him to parliament this month, "does not prejudice the independence of the oversight work of the independent bodies of the aspects of professional, administrative and financial."
She said "the constitution of these bodies give financial and administrative independence to ensure impartiality and independence of its decisions and procedures in the field of competence."
The judge considered denominator bonded spokesman for the Electoral Commission and a member of the Board of Commissioners that the clarification sent to the Parliament confirms the independence of the two bodies.
"To be honest to say that this opinion or interpretation of the recent court marks a reversal of its earlier decision.
""This interpretation is consistent with the Constitution in letter and spirit, which demonstrates clearly the work of these bodies and provided by their own laws."
Hadi al-Maliki, Naim, professor of international law at the University of Baghdad, said the clarification still leaves room for political interference.
"The court said that the Council of Ministers has the right to draw the general policy of these bodies. But we do not know where the ends of the limits of public policy. I think that this is a free invitation to the Council of Ministers to intervene in the affairs of the work of these bodies."
The Iraqi constitution which was drafted hastily after the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 on the "watch" the parliament of independent bodies. He said al-Maliki and Oaafqath Court said the constitution with the language he used vague in this regard and that these bodies should be subject instead to government supervision.

"There is a reality that must be emphasized is that the financial independence of the central bank is something definite, regardless of any decision taken by the Federal Court. And the Prime Minister has no authority to act on the central bank money never."
The parliament said on Tuesday in a statement that the Supreme Court explained what was obscure in its decision.
The MP said Saleem al-and a member of the Legal Committee in the Iraqi parliament, "It seems that the Federal Court wants to deny the accusations made against them earlier this explanation which tried to hold back by throwing the ball, believed the constitution.
""The Constitution explicitly says that the bodies like the World Bank and the Central Electoral Commission and the High Commissioner for Human Rights and the Commission on Public Integrity, are autonomous bodies and it applies in its work to Parliament."
