Member of Parliament’s Finance Committee, Mohammed Al-Shammari, confirmed on Saturday that the draft general budget law for 2027 will be subject to intensive technical study and detailed auditing as soon as it is officially sent by the Ministry of Finance and the government to the House of Representatives, noting that the existence of prior political understandings will contribute to its smooth passage without complex disputes.
Al-Shammari told Al-Maalouma News Agency that “the arrival of the budget to Parliament will begin with the Finance Committee’s work of reviewing all schedules, allocations, and expenditure items accurately to ensure their suitability to the economic reality and the needs of service projects,” indicating that “the auditing and study process represents an indispensable oversight and legislative duty before it is put to a vote.”
He added that “subjecting the draft to in-depth study does not mean obstructing it, as the political climate is conducive and the parliamentary blocs are determined to finalize the necessary technical amendments through a swift consensus.” He predicted that “the reading and discussion procedures will proceed to approval without any crises or conflicts that might hinder its completion within the parliament.”
