A member of the State of Law coalition, Jassim Muhammad Jaafar, confirmed today, Thursday, that the Kurdish parties are in favor of the continued failure to approve the oil and gas law, adding that the law will end Kurdistan’s control over oil extraction and export operations.
Jaafar said in an interview with the Maalouma Agency, “The law will give the National Marketing Company (SOMO) priority and all the powers that the regional government has now,” noting that “there is clear laxity from the governments with the Kurdish parties in the issue of approving the oil and gas law.”
He added: “Disrupting the approval of the oil and gas law is a plan to continue the theft of oil money from central and southern Iraq,” pointing out that “the region seeks to regain control of the oil file and share with the government the profits from selling central and southern oil.”
Jaafar concluded his speech: “The regional government places obstacles to the approval of the oil and gas law on more than one occasion,” noting that “approval of the law will end Kurdistan’s control over oil extraction and export operations.”
The Kurdish parties continue to obstruct the efforts to approve the oil and gas law, which a vote on within the corridors of Parliament has become a must, in order to end the violations and thefts carried out by the Kurdistan Regional Government in the oil smuggling file in isolation from the central government and the seizure of revenue funds in general.
