Parliamentary economic: the law of social insurance faces the obstruction of concessionaires
Baghdad / Zahraa al-Jassim
The draft law on social insurance collides with political differences and deals before it reaches the parliament, according to a recent parliamentary committee on economy and investment, which sees the uproar surrounding it as a result of "some segments of the legislation of this law have been affected." The clarity of some of his paragraphs is made around all this controversy, he believes that there is no misunderstanding of the law should be discussed and modify some of the paragraphs with the participation of organizations deployed locally in various fields of economy and law.
The Social Insurance Law provides for insurance for the insured in the public and private sectors and for their successors in retirement cases. It also includes multiple branches of social insurance, including retirement insurance, old age and death, work injury insurance, health insurance, maternity insurance for women The insurance shall also include work disability, provided that the Social Insurance Authority and the Social Insurance Fund are established under the provisions of the law to calculate and fulfill the amounts of the contributions deducted from the insured for 7% of the total amount of the contributions. To be borne by the employer at a rate equal to 13% of the monthly wage of the insured - and the retirement of pensioners' rights.
A member of the Committee on Economy and Investment parliamentary Najib Najib says in an interview for "(to the extent), so far has not been presented the Social Insurance Law on the parliament for the first reading, but in any case, this law is not new, the equipment of its legislation has started since the start of the current government has been formed a committee Local and international experts from the United Nations, adding: "This law according to the economic vision of building the state has many positives, but from the point of view of some of the disadvantages.
Najib stresses that one of his important answers is to find a comprehensive law for all beneficiaries of retirement, both for the government and private sector. This is a very important step because it serves the government steps towards privatization, activating the private sector and non-oil imports and increasing its sources. On the other hand, Or the martyrs and political prisoners, because these segments under its own laws had financial allocations, as some were receiving a salary more than the other under those allocations granted to him, but the social insurance law and the salaries and under that no longer enjoy A financial rights as before.
Naguib said: It is a simple example, the university professor was under the old law is calculated salary pension on the nominal salary according to the certificate with the allocations, but now there are no provisions, on the other hand, the old law was calculated pension on the basis of three-year salary The salary will be calculated under the last four or five years, and in the equation to calculate the salary there is a difference in the salary of the retiree and not as in the past, because the salary of retired in the last three years to serve him, for example, the amount of "500 thousand, while The calculation has been made Wrote to the five-year basis in the last job that may be the salary of 400 thousand, the difference will be here, so the hype that I got is the result of damage to some sections of the enactment of this law.
In another example, Najib believes that political prisoners with a salary of 500 thousand or even a million without a pension formula and whose allowances are given an exception, but in this law all their laws have been canceled, which is certainly against their benefit. The law is very good, but unfortunately and because the parliament at the end of the legislative year, the law will collide with many differences and orientations and even political bidding, because those who received the salaries of prisoners and martyrs and university professors will not accept this law, which means that the law will face many difficulties and will not be Easy to pass.
The law of social insurance is very important for Iraq because we are facing a lack of revenue due to the drop in oil prices and the many financial obligations and the real need today is the one who pushed the government to legislate this law, not to mention that the issue of the inclusion of the sector For retirement is a step more historic and will be very influential and will make a big difference in the economy by encouraging private sector work.
For his part, says economic expert Bassem Antoine in an interview with "(of the extent), which emphasizes: The social insurance in all countries of the world granted to citizens in the country that lives, according to pension and social security, and the Iraqi citizen must live from the good of oil under the Constitution which He notes in Article 111 that oil belongs to the people, so every citizen must have a generous pension to live in, so that he does not remain dependent on the government job.
"There are more than six and a half million employees in the private sector. These must be included in this process to enjoy a rewarding retirement that guarantees their lives and the lives of their children. It is not true that someone sits in an office and puts and discusses a law in isolation from the beneficiaries. At a time when civil society should have a voice through organizations that are scattered in various fields of economy and knowledge so as not to be There is an unrealistic understanding of the law must To have an opinion thereon, taking into account administrative and financial matters that are commensurate with the State's revenues.
In Antoine's view, the controversy surrounding the law is because of the ambiguity surrounding it. Today, social security and retirement are for employees, and the sums are not all from the government, but are part of the deductions from the employee's salary during his term of office. Previously, these amounts were invested by the state in many fields and they are occupied by mature investment mentality so that the funds are not rigid and the interest is greater. The state must invest these funds, not to take from the person who has the benefits of the job deductions and has the right to retire. , And in this In other words, our objection to the law is only because it needs certain amendments and more extensive discussions.
The media office of Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, announced last Monday that the government is seeking to develop the Iraqi economy and reform the system of state resources and restructuring the economic sectors important to ensure the drawing of a true economic path based on new foundations Adopting partnership with the private sector and revitalize in a manner that stimulates the economic cycle and helps in "The government has taken many important steps in this direction, which have contributed to laying the foundations for an ambitious economic vision and to enhance this government orientation and to boost the role of the private sector."
