Nassif said in a statement, “Parliament represents the authority of the Iraqi people, and Parliament has previously removed the tax deductions paragraph from the salaries of employees from the financial budget, and we will not allow the budget law to be circumvented by any party .”
Nassif indicated: “The government does not have the right to impose these taxes on employees’ salaries in any way. Otherwise, Parliament will object and challenge these measures. We will also vote to dismiss the Minister of Finance on the same day that the deductions are applied . ”
And she continued, “While we assure all employees and retirees that their salaries will not be subject to tax withholding, we call on the Minister of Finance to maximize state resources by controlling border outlets that evaporate most of their revenues, and by eliminating financial corruption and limiting the waste of public money, instead of Pursuing the salaries of a simple employee . ”
