{Baghdad: Al Furat News} Representative Mansour Al-Baiji considered that the arrival of delegations from the Kurdistan region to Baghdad is a waste of time and a delay in approving the country’s general budget, indicating that the regional government does not have it to hand over its imports to the federal government and this is the essence and point of disagreement between Baghdad and Erbil.
Al-Baiji said in a statement that Al-Furat News received a copy of, that “the general budget law is ready for voting, and we are awaiting its inclusion on the session’s agenda in order to proceed with passing it because it is unreasonable to disrupt the country’s general budget because of the Kurdistan Regional Government, which does not wish to hand over its revenues similar to other governorates.” .
He pointed out that “there is no solution to pass the budget law except with a majority inside the parliament,” noting that “the only matter to solve the dilemma of the budget law, whose approval is long overdue, and the people are waiting impatiently to vote on it, so this law must be passed at the nearest session.”
Al-Baiji added: “We hope that the Presidency of the Council of Representatives will present the budget law on the Parliament’s agenda and give up its responsibility to delay its approval due to the dilemma of the region, which has no real intention to hand over its revenues to the center until it receives its share in the federal budget.”
He continued: “Therefore, there is a consensus among most of the members of the House of Representatives, there is no solution or political agreement on the Kurdistan region’s share of the budget, except by handing over all revenues. Otherwise, we will pass the budget by the majority, and the Kurdistan government must understand this matter well because we will not hand over the revenues of our governorates to the region and our provinces are destroyed.”
