On Thursday, the Parliamentary Finance Committee suggested launching the federal budget after the 18th of July, calling on the government to end the electricity file by investing in natural gas.
Committee member Jamal Cougar stated, in a statement to the Official Gazette, that “work on the budget will start after the 18th of this month, and the budget may be launched, and then the Finance Committee will start its work by following up on its disbursement process.”
He added, “The government was appealed by 12 paragraphs of the budget, and this is a natural matter and within its powers, and the matter now remains up to the Federal Court to consider appeals and submit a ruling,” noting that “the Finance Committee expected that some of the budget paragraphs would be appealed by the government, which was confirmed by the Minister of Finance.” However, the committee did its duty and added what it deems appropriate from the point of view of its members.
Concerning the electricity crisis, Cougar explained that the government has put sums in the budget regarding Iranian gas dues, but the blockade on Iran by the United States prevents the money from arriving, calling on the government to invest in associated gas to end the crisis, to bypass the complications away from any external and internal interference.
