A new crisis awaits salaries ... It takes 45 days to vote on the budget[Baghdad-Where]
A member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee confirmed, Friday, that sending the fiscal budget for 2021 to the House of Representatives and voting will take 45 days.
Sherwan Mirza said, “The Federal Cabinet will discuss tomorrow, Saturday, the federal budget for 2021,” explaining that “the process of conducting the first and second reading and voting on the bill will take a long time.”
He added: The budget will reach the House of Representatives before the end of this year, and the vote will take about 45 days, pointing out that the Kurdistan region’s share is still unknown, and the specificity is linked to an agreement between the regional and federal governments.
The delay in voting on the budget may cause a new crisis in the provision of salaries, especially in light of Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi’s statement that his government will face difficulties in providing salaries if the budget is not voted on.
