On Saturday, a member of the Rights Movement, Hussein Ali Al-Karawi, blamed the Parliament Speaker for the delay in approving the law, expressing his regret that the budget was not included on the parliament’s agenda for the first reading.
Al-Karawi said in an interview with Al-Maalouma Agency, “Al-Halbousi is trying to impose his conditions in the budget to achieve personal goals.”
He added, “Huquq demanded that the draft budget law be presented, from a legal, professional and political point of view, for the first reading, surprising that “the Parliament Presidency objected to presenting it for the first reading.”
He pointed out that “Al-Halbousi is trying to achieve factional electoral gains, especially in light of the conflict on the Sunni arena, control of the political decision, and imposing what he wants, even at the expense of the rest of the people of Iraq from other provinces.”
And a member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Mustafa Khalil, had confirmed to Al-Malooma, that “the work of the Finance Committee is now suspended, and a press conference will be held in the event that the budget is not sent from the Presidency of Parliament to the Finance Committee in order to complete the amendments in preparation for approval.”
