Committee has issued two reports that were returned to it for the same reason related to examining and checking the nominees documents.

On the other hand the committee was not expanded by adding new members to the five MPs chaired by deputy speaker and the committee was not replaced by a new one as requested by some members of the parliament, particularly the deputy head of the General; People's Congress parliamentary bloc Yasser al-Awadhi who considered the parliament has made two mistakes; first when it entrusted the selection of 30 persons for the membership of the corruption fighting committee and the second in the formation of the parliamentary committee for receiving and inspection of the candidates' documents as well as his request for holding an open hearing session of the candidates of the committee of fighting corruption.

MP Ali al-Amrani supported his request and said the parliament has two options; either to recognize that the law of fighting corruption needs amendment or to accept what has come from the Shoura Council. He also suggested that parliamentary blocs bear their responsibility in choosing 11 candidates from the 30 ones before putting the names to vote at the parliament. Al-Amrani affirmed the task of the corruption fighting body is struggling and it is not enough to be good persons to undertake this task.
