KTFA:Doodlebug: Family, last Tuesday (February 4th) I received word that on Monday, February 3rd, an ambulance arrived at the CBI for Dr. Shabibi. I haven’t said anything because I was asked not to until my contact had an update for me.
He shared with me last Tuesday, that Dr. Shabibi looked to be losing some weight since he came back to the CBI at the beginning of December. I shared with all of you in December, that Dr. Shabibi started working “full days” at the CBI. Today, February 10th, I just received an update that “Dr. Shabibi was treated at the Green Zone Hospital for Minor things”.
The employees are talking amongst themselves that it was for “stress”. He has not been to work since February 3rd.
I know some will be worried that this might affect the RI, but it is my opinion that it will not. This RI is not hinged by one person and one person only… the CBI has marching orders and they will follow them whether Dr. Shabibi is there or not.
Of course, this is Dr. Shabibi’s baby and we would all love for him to be there to ring the bell… so let’s just all lift Dr. Shabibi up in prayer so that his health will be Restored to His Perfection.
I will keep everyone informed as information comes in.

Don961: Find a way out to the budget
Sunday 09 February 2020 Mohammed Sharif Abu Maysam
The budget law for the year 2020 has become linked to a series of timings related to the approvals on the cabinet cabinet of the new government, and then voting on it in the House of Representatives, which may mean more time and we are now in the second month of the fiscal year, which will reflect negatively on the financial plan Aiming at rotating the macroeconomic wheel in achieving its goals.
And if the operational part depends on the authority of the caretaker government, to spend 1 to 12 according to Article -13- of the Financial Management Law No. 6 of 2019, then the spending in the investment part of the budget can be from the annual allocation of ongoing investment projects and their allocations are listed during The previous fiscal year according to the new law, and in a way that facilitates the caretaker government the task of avoiding continuous projects from extinction and exposing them to losses according to the request of the relevant ministries to the Council of Ministers, and this is what was not present in the Financial Administration and Public Debt Law No. 95 of 2004 established by the civil governor Paul Bremer, "which continued to work until the month of August of last year, which is the date on which published the text of the new law, the Iraqi newspaper facts.
However, investment expenditures on new projects will remain idle, unless the caretaker government submits an application that the existing authorities can find for him a legal outlet that allows addressing the current parliament to vote on adopting the financial statements for the previous year as a cup of financial statements for this year, for the public interest and not to be disrupted.
The interests of the people, and to avoid the risks of this disruption, whose effects on the movement of the market can be withdrawn due to the economic downturn that we will lead to, and in this direction there is a legal basis based on what was stated in the new financial management law, which “considered the final financial statements for the sixth year Bug mainly financial statements for this year, once approved in the House of Representatives, "and therefore could it be easy in front of the current parliament to push for the conduct of the current government work and to spare the country further losses that may result from the delay in approving the General Budget Law for this year.
And since the general laws include a set of rules that target the public interest, and based on the legal rule "where there is no interest or no possibility to act", the search for legal exits that achieve the interests of the country and people at this critical stage is a patriotic act with distinction, so how about the matter and legal texts It allows those in charge an opportunity to spare the country more financial losses, in a country where the public budget accounts for about 45 percent of GDP.
Through the data we are witnessing, waiting for the birth of the budget law for the year 2020 and relying on the idea of not disposing in the search for legal exits that depend the interest of the country, will lead, and necessarily, to more negative repercussions on the overall scene, which holds those responsible for this matter responsible for seeking to search for these exits .
