Today, Monday, a member of the House of Representatives, Adnan Al-Jabri, made a request regarding the mechanism for voting on the 2023 budget bill, and while it was likely that the voting date would be prolonged, he confirmed that the budget would be passed in a way that did not satisfy the representatives.
Al-Jabri said in an interview with Al-Maalouma agency, that “passing the federal budget law inside the dome of Parliament must be far from the influence of the leaders of the political blocs by putting pressure on their members in the House of Representatives.”
He added, “The vote on the budget is likely to be prolonged, as a result of the influence of the leaders of the political blocs on some deputies,” noting that “the political consensus will pass the budget in a way that may not satisfy the deputies.”
Regarding the position of the representatives of the southern governorates regarding the session of passing the budget, Al-Jabri stressed that “the representatives of the center and the south will not vote on the budget until after fairness to their governorates,” pointing out that “the budget law did not do justice to the governorates of the south, especially Basra.”
Earlier in the day, a member of Parliament, Walid Al-Sahlani, revealed that parliamentary signatures had been collected to set a date for a session to vote on the federal budget.
The representative of the Al-Fateh Alliance, Rafik Al-Salihi, had confirmed that the coordination framework forces are still determined to approve the budget at the end of this week, noting that “the representatives of the framework within the Finance Committee are making a great effort to reconcile the demands of the political forces.
