[size=45]A member of the Parliamentary Legal Committee, Aref Al-Hamami, said, “All decisions of the Federal Court are binding on all authorities, whether they are within the federal government or within the Kurdistan Regional Government.”[/size]

[size=45]The “loss and weakness” of the region[/size]
[size=45]And on (August 7, 2023), Energy Affairs Advisor at the Information Office of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, Bahjat Ahmed, confirmed that after the decision to implement the budget and reject the lawsuit filed by the Kurdistan government, the region has become in a position of weakness, considering that the Kurdistan Democratic Party is the one that brought the region to this point.[/size]
[size=45]Ahmed said in an interview, “The powers to disburse money have become exclusively in the hands of the Minister of Finance in the federal government, and all of this is considered a weakness for the Kurdistan region due to the confusion with which the Democratic Party, led by Masrour Barzani, managed the previous stage that was characterized by stubbornness and failure.”[/size]
[size=45]He added, "The confusion was evident in the oil file, which is the main reason behind the loss and weakness to which the region is exposed, and this weakness will be borne exclusively by the Kurdish citizen, due to Barzani's failure, and the unilateral policy through which they tried to manage the region."[/size]
