Member of Parliament Kazim al-Shibli ruled out the possibility of passing the oil and gas law during the current legislative session on Saturday, considering the ongoing disputes between Baghdad and Erbil over the law’s provisions and the mechanism for distributing revenues to be the main reason for the obstruction.
Al-Shabli told Al-Maalouma News Agency that “the oil and gas law is a controversial law subject to political moods, and there are no serious intentions to resolve it within parliament yet,” adding that “the region refuses to give up illegal economic gains and is obstructing the achievement of a consensus formula with the federal government.”
He explained that “the law has been postponed more than once by previous governments, and is not on the House of Representatives’ agenda in the near future due to the ongoing political crisis between the central government and the region.”
Al-Shabli pointed out that “the federal government needs a fair law that regulates the management and export of oil resources and ensures their equitable distribution to all governorates, without exception or monopolization.”
