Today, Thursday, the Finance Committee clarified both the powers of the federal government and the role of the House of Representatives in the current year’s budget, which the House of Representatives is waiting to receive from the government.
A member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Mustafa Al-Karaawi, told Al-Maalomah, “Whether or not to amend the federal budget law depends on the government and the extent of its need to make amendments to some sections and items according to the need and requirements.”
He added, “The House of Representatives obligated the Council of Ministers, in accordance with Article 77 Second of the Constitution, to send tables related to its expectations for revenues and the volume of actual spending for the year 2024, while the rest of the budget items are supposed to be in effect, and if the government requests the amendment of some items, the House of Representatives will work to discuss them.” And work to reformulate it in a way that suits the government program and the Council’s requirements.”
