A member of the Al-Fateh Alliance, Ali Al-Zubaidi, confirmed, on Thursday, that the oil and gas law needs a political consensus between the various parties in order to ripen it and proceed with its legislation in parliament, pointing out that the law needs some time before a vote on it.
Al-Zubaidi told Al-Maalouma, “The government seeks that the oil and gas law be in the interest of all of Iraq and everyone benefits from it without benefiting one province over another, including the provinces of the Kurdistan region.”
He added, “There are attempts by the region to impose control on some of the lands of Kirkuk,” pointing out that “the authorities of the region took control of some oil wells in Kirkuk during the period of the terrorist ISIS and continued to obtain its wealth, despite its ownership of the federal government.”
And he indicated that “the oil and gas law needs some time in order to mature it politically, and then proceed to put it to parliament and pass it in one of the council’s sessions.”
