Parliament kept its legislative session open “without a holiday” until the approval of the budget, which was halted due to political differences regarding its items. After the Finance Committee completed voting on most of its items, it collided with the region’s refusal - specifically the Democratic Party - the mechanism for calculating the quantities of oil produced in the region and the recipient of those quantities or Its establishment, as well as the relationship between the federal government and Erbil regarding the management of oil revenues from exports and other details included in the articles on the region in the budget (12-13-14), and the differences led to the disruption of the activities of the Finance Committee that was about to send the budget to Parliament to determine its approval session .
A member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Iman Abdel-Razzaq, said in an interview with “Al-Sabah”: “The legislative term remains open until the budget is approved, as the parliament is not obliged to take its recess after the ninth of the current month of June – the date that a month has passed since the extension of the legislative term – but rather Wait for approval
Budget".
The member of the committee criticized the current reality of the budget discussions, and said: "So far, there have been no initiatives or agreements regarding the budget," expressing regret for this situation, "because the entire people are waiting for this project," and indicated that "the agreements now take place in (closed rooms, not in The Finance Committee, which completed all items of the budget, but disagreements over some articles led to the paralysis of the committee’s movement, and the budget became in the hands of the political blocs.
And she continued: "The legislative term has been extended in order to approve the budget law, and everything is currently suspended waiting for it, as there is no investment, appointments or contracts due to political differences," and stressed that "the parties today are required to give up their own interests for the sake of the interests of the people, but until this hour no There is news about the agreement between them, and we do not believe that the budget will be approved during the current week.
Abd al-Razzaq explained that if we enter the legislative recess and there is an important law or a vote on a law or a decision, there will be a call for an extraordinary session, and the parliamentary recess specified by the constitution is two months, a month has been extended, and at the end of the current week the month ends and the holiday begins, but it has become open until Budget approval.
As for the member of the Finance Committee, Saad Awad Al-Toubi, he said in an interview with “Al-Sabah”: “So far, political agreements and agreements have not reached anything mentioned regarding the budget file, and we hope that these agreements will not deviate from the umbrella of the constitution, which stipulates that everyone has his right.” “The Finance Committee stopped after it almost finished discussing the budget, and the committee is waiting for what will happen to complete its work.” He continued: “The House of Representatives is currently paralyzed, because there is no agenda, and the legislative recess will be extended until the budget is approved.”
On May 9, the House of Representatives announced the extension of its legislative term "until approval of the budget law."
Meanwhile, the financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, called for a re-examination of operating expenses and building them according to the principles of "justice" and "fairness".
Salih said, in an interview with the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "It is necessary to carry out a strict re-examination of operating expenses in all its details and build them according to the two rules (justice and fairness) in financial behavior, and to address the waste left by previous legislation that led to an exponentially increasing burden of expenditures and constituted a burden." financial sustainability and its future.
Saleh also called for "the need to consider the issue of a comprehensive financial reform plan and the reorganization of financial life, in which the scope of waste in its vehicles has expanded due to the accumulation of legislation that requires financing constantly, so going to borrow or borrow and engage in overburdening of debts in the interest of the operational budget of a non-productive consumer nature causes By confiscating the hopes of future generations and bequeathing them negative-impact financing models that destroy opportunities for prosperity and economic progress.
