The representative of Maysan Governorate, Muhammad Saadoun Al-Maliki, warned, on Thursday, of a crisis of failure to pass the federal budget in the event that the southern governorates are not granted their entitlements according to what was approved by the Iraqi constitution.
Al-Maliki said, in an interview with Al-Maalouma, that “the central and southern governorates have not been granted their entitlements in all budgets over the past years,” noting that “their deputies will have a position this time during the session to pass the budget.”
He added, “The representatives of the central and southern governorates will take a firm stance towards granting their entitlements guaranteed by the Iraqi constitution, which referred to the distribution of wealth on the basis of population density and the degree of disadvantage.”
Al-Maliki indicated, “The southern governorates will get their dues from the petrodollars, in addition to their shares from the border crossings.”
The share of the region and some of the paragraphs related to Kurdistan are still a matter of controversy, as they have become a stumbling block in the way of completing the budget and placing it on the agenda for the purpose of voting on it.
