MP from the Kurdistan Democratic Party bloc, Mohammed Shaker, Wednesday, that the proportion of Kurdistan in the financial budget for the year 2019 amounted to 12.67%, indicating that the Kurdistan government will commit to pay 250 thousand barrels of oil per day for the share of the region. 

Shaker said in an interview for Alsumaria News, "The Kurdish forces wanted to pass the government's proposal on the budget in terms of the share of the region, but what was put forward from the proposal of the Parliamentary Finance Committee was also good and accepted by us and was moved and passed by the vote on the budget."

Shaker added that "the separation and isolation of salaries of regional staff and allocations of Peshmerga on political debates in the event of political differences in the future, is an important step was supported by all members of Parliament in various blocks." 

He pointed out that "the Kurdistan government will commit to pay 250 thousand barrels of oil per day in exchange for the share of the region, and in case of non-commitment of the territorial government to hand over the ratio will be deducted from the equivalent of the share of the province budget without there be prejudice to salaries of staff and allocations of Peshmerga, which is logical and acceptable. 

He added that "the share of the province in the budget was fixed, which is 12.67%, and talk about the fact that it reached 20% is incorrect because the salaries of employees as part of the staff of Iraq and allocations of Peshmerga as part of the Iraqi defense system has nothing to do with the development allocations for the province or any province.

It is noteworthy that the House of Representatives voted, on the twenty-fourth of January 2019 on the federal budget for fiscal year 2019.
