Economic expert Abdul Rahman Al-Sheikhly confirmed, on Tuesday, the 85% amendments made to the budget by Parliament that did not affect the life of the citizen, indicating that there are things that took place in the corridors of the House of Representatives, the Finance Committee and members of Parliament that they are not aware of.
Al-Sheikhly said that “Parliament has made amendments to the draft budget law and reached more than 85%, according to what the Finance Committee stated.”
He added that “these amendments did not affect matters of concern to the citizen, including social welfare allocations, ration card allocations, and dollar exchange rates,” noting that “secret agreements and amendments are taking place in the dark corridors and in the financial committee that even the committee members are not aware of according to deals prepared for that.”
He explained that “the most important paragraph in the budget that the parliament overlooked is the ration card allocations,” noting that “the budget came with allocations for the ration card twice as much as the previous budgets came, and the council did not ask the government where the allocations of previous years were, and the citizen did not receive any of the card items.”
