Information / Bagdad …
Today, Thursday, a member of the Al-Fateh Alliance, Ali Al-Zubaidi, confirmed the existence of political movements and endeavors to legislate the oil and gas law and ensure fair distribution of oil revenues and wealth without siding with the region in this file.
Al-Zubaidi told Al-Maalouma, “There are vigorous moves to pass the oil and gas law in a fair manner for all, so that it regulates the relationship between Baghdad and Erbil and the distribution of wealth is fair, provided that the central government distributes the revenues coming to it, whether from Erbil or elsewhere.”
He added, “The oil of the areas under the control of the terrorist ISIS in the past period was sold to the region, in addition to the region’s smuggling of oil extracted from the fields of Kirkuk, and therefore the need has become urgent to pass the oil and gas law.”
And that “the legislation of the aforementioned law will make the oil wealth in the interest of Iraq as a whole and not only in the interest of the region, but it will legalize the oil file.”
Al-Zubaidi indicated that “resolving the law may take more time before it is legislated within the House of Representatives.”
