MP Thaer Al-Kaabi, from the National Approach bloc, revealed on Monday that the decision on the chairmanship of parliamentary committees has been postponed until next week due to the absence of a “political agreement”.
Al-Kaabi told Shafaq News Agency that political dialogues aimed at deciding the chairmanship of the permanent parliamentary committees are currently suspended, due to the failure to reach an agreement between the heads of the blocs, in addition to the travel of the Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Adnan Faihan, abroad, as he is the one concerned with the file of the heads of the committees.
He explained that political dialogues regarding the decision on the chairmanship of parliamentary committees will resume next week, given the lack of any agreement so far between the political blocs.
He added that there are no sessions of the House of Representatives during the current week, and that the House will hold its sessions next week.
On October 29, the parliamentary blocs submitted the names of their candidates for the chairmanship of 16 parliamentary committees, along with their deputies, while four committees remained awaiting the finalization of their candidates, according to a document obtained by Shafaq News Agency.
