He explained Hama Rashid, “The government has confirmed that this decision precaution and will be implemented in the event of the Iraqi state needed for this and affected the economy significantly,” he said, adding that “the Finance Committee did not discuss with the government, yet the implementation of the decision of whether or not”. He said, “I personally do not agree on this matter, because it is great damage to the ordinary citizen”, ruling out at the same time, “the adoption of this matter, especially after the return of oil prices to rise again.”
For its part, said committee member Najiba Najib, said that “the Commission has not yet been any formal decision by the government received on staff salaries distribution of all forty days,” usually “the government if they have taken such a decision, it is caused by a lack of liquidity, lack of its ability to meet its obligations, especially that the country is in a state of war. ”
For his part, said economist Maytham Laibi that “the payment of salaries in Iraq system is a system monthly, and can payment system this becomes a daily, weekly, monthly, semi-annually or annually,” pointing out that “the decision in the case has been implemented, it is understood the impression wrong “.

He continues to coffee that “payment every 40 days will reduce the distribution cycle costs, which means that the cost to the state could drop in the amount of 3 months”, adding that “countries if pay one month’s salary decided every 40 days is the high negative everyone. ”
