The Parliamentary Finance Committee confirmed, on Tuesday, the need for a political agreement to pass the draft general budget law for 2021 in the House of Representatives.
A member of the committee, Sherwan Mirza, said that “the draft federal budget law for 2021 has not reached the parliament so far.”
He added: “For there must be a political agreement within the House of Representatives to pass the budget, especially the paragraphs related to imposing taxes on employees’ salaries.”
He pointed out that “Al-Kazemi presented some of the measures in the budget during his previous meeting with the political parties, as confirmed during his press conference.”
Deputy Sherwan Mirza stressed that “it is difficult to pass the budget through the House of Representatives without a political agreement.”
