 Baghdad / Zahraa Al-Jassem

Continue to oppose the government 's project to privatize the electricity sector, which adheres to the Ministry of Electricity as a measure to reduce wastage in electrical energy, which costs the state huge amounts of money, and to redeem citizens from dealing with generators, make dealing with the ministry only by the investor, while sees an expert in economic affairs , the economic feasibility of this project is to reduce the government spending its budget on electricity and spend the citizen to get this service ..
the Ministry of Electricity confirms the words of spokesman Musab teacher, that the service contracts and collection concluded, are in favor of the poor. Although the ministry does not have data to base these layers, it is determined by low - income people through consumption. He says the teacher told (range): The pricing of the ministry backed up where the support level to 94%, which means that we want to rid the citizens from dealing with neighborhood generators in order to be dealing only with the Ministry of Electricity by the investor. Explains that: the tariff obtained here from the collection of electricity supported by the sense that what is paid by the citizens of the neighborhood generators can be paid 20% of it, the Ministry of Electricity in exchange for electricity for 24 hours, while the rest of the money back to him.
The teacher, believes that the high voices of opposition to the project back to those who "hit their interests after the orientation ministry for privatization, and these are those who promote a negative against the draft privatization of electricity in order to abort, but despite all this, the ministry continues to achieve, having achieved many success stories in this area in several areas in the capital, such as Zayouna and Yarmouk, Ameriyah and Sidiyah Jamma and Al - Mansour, there are also contracts concluded in other provinces such as Basra, Wasit, Kirkuk, and the city of Samarra, and we have also attempts to all the provinces of the Middle Euphrates, our aim citizen service and control of the distribution process electricity ".
The teacher also explains that: the subject of the payment of electricity wages that Olzimtna by these contracts any privatization contracts, are originally present in the budgets of 2017 and 2016, the fact that Article 15 in the 2016 budget law and article 14 in the 2017 budget law confirmed that the Ministry of Electricity to enter into the field of Abram investment contracts and share with the private sector in the production and distribution, and that the levy amounts of service they provide, and if not collected, the Ministry of Finance is obliged to these amounts are deducted from the Ministry of Electricity shares of the budget, but there are those who hit their interests, led by the owners of private generators, continuing, we have 18 thousand Born in Baghdad and the provinces, in addition to nearly six thousand government generator and 1700 industrial generator, these generators are all take material "kerosene Oil" which is the most expensive types of fuel but is sold at a subsidized price.
He goes the teacher said, that 53 thousand cubic meters of material "kerosene Oil" are granted eligibility for the generators as are granted 12 thousand cubic meters of this Article government generators, as are awarded 6 thousand cubic meters of industrial generators, we know that 70% of these quantities of material "kerosene oil" sold on the black market, not to mention the interests of oil traders and dealers spare parts that will strike if the citizen is equipped with electricity for 24 hours, so every they have been promoting the pricing of electricity is not real if the privatization of electricity to confuse the citizens, but we are continuing to implement this is the topic that is also a government project, a law can not be Terminated only by law.
Economic expert Ahmed Rehn, sees his part in an interview (range): The success of the privatization of electricity depends on the price, and if this step is provided to the citizen reasonable prices will feel comfortable, and if they contributed to the reduction of state spending on electricity this serves the budget, but if it does not serve this nor that, surely is an unfortunate, adding that, this step we evaluated according to two criteria Why spend state on electricity from the budget, and what is spent citizen to get this service is not the only , but the productive activity as well, and the outcome in the end , is the sum of what the state spends society from the family and never sector Business electricity sector, where in the distant perspective must be harvest what they spend on electricity a little percentage of what exists now.
He adds Bureihi: that the generation is " the production of electricity , " which has so far , however , the state, and the issue of privatization so far, do not include the generation, explaining that electricity generation, transmission and distribution, and if the electricity generating sufficient quantities cover consumption in the household and service sectors and the productive sector, from agriculture, industry and others , no longer needed to private generators and their owners, so the Ministry of Electricity mean by this measure that the electricity if it has become enough of the national grid, the amount paid by the citizen and the owner of the factory for electricity from the national grid will cost him less than it gives to generators, and here we can achieve feasibility The Of the desired economic transformation.
The decision to offer the electricity sector to private investment, passed by the Iraqi Council of Representatives, after a lot of efforts made by the Government to improve this sector during the past nine years have failed, despite the disbursement of 27 billion dollars , without mention, as voted in favor of the resolution 199 deputies, while refusing to result 101 others.
