MP Zuhair Al-Fatlawi confirmed on Tuesday that there is “defects and mismanagement” by the government in managing public finances, stressing that the halt in projects in the governorates is directly due to the lack of available funds.
Al-Fatlawi told Al-Maalouma that “the Ministry of Finance indicated the existence of a clear deficit as a result of the decline in oil revenues,” warning that “this situation affects the government’s ability to finance essential projects and cover operating expenses.”
He continued, “The government and the Ministry of Finance are using secondary reasons to delay the issuance of the 2025 budget, citing fluctuating oil prices and disputes with the region, in an attempt to cover up the real problems in financial management.”
He stressed that “the continuation of this delay harms development projects and negatively impacts the lives of citizens,” calling on the government to “address the financial deficit and develop urgent solutions to activate stalled projects.”
Observers point out that the continuation of this situation puts development projects at risk and increases the suffering of citizens, which calls for urgent measures from the government to address the administrative and financial imbalance and reactivate the wheel of development in the governorates.
