A legal expert confirmed today, Tuesday, that the government should have entered into discussions with the House of Representatives before approving the budget, in order to avoid appeals and legal procedures, especially since the appeal included 12 articles.
Legal expert Jamal al-Asadi said in a statement to “Earth News” agency, “The Prime Minister has the authority to appeal the budget according to the constitution, as the House of Representatives has the right to transfer between the chapters of the budget and does not have the right to add articles that burden the state and contain financial matters.”
He added, “Therefore, it is the authority of the government and the authority of the prime minister to appeal against texts that he deems contrary to the government’s direction and contrary to the provisions of the budget law prepared by the government.”
And he indicated that “when the government learned that there were discussions in the House of Representatives regarding some texts, it had to go to the discussion and deliberation with it before proceeding to vote on it, because the stability of legal procedures gives stability to the state, especially since the budget was long delayed in approval, and that some of its texts, which are 12, were challenged.” A text that will disrupt some things and some other procedures.”
