Parliament member Thaer al-Jubouri revealed, on Monday, the existence of outstanding files that are still obstructing the approval of the general budget law, while stressing that the continuation of some political blocs to demand more than their rights is still the most prominent obstacle to officially voting on the law.
Al-Jubouri said, in an interview with Al-Maalouma Agency, that “Parliament is working to study and address the financial deficit of the budget in order to begin reducing it to proportions that are compatible with the government program,” noting that “there are still files that impede the approval of the general budget law in the House of Representatives.”
He added, “The continuation of some political blocs to demand more than their rights is still the most prominent obstacle to voting on the law officially,” noting that “the Finance Committee is still working during the meetings to resolve problems and differences over proportions and quotas for some governorates.”
And a member of the Parliamentary Integrity Committee, Ali Turki Al-Jamali, had ruled out, in an interview with the information agency, that the budget file was decided by the concerned committees and submitted to a vote, pointing out that the budget needs more time in order to reduce the deficit in it.
