Until, “some political blocs have waived the condition of marketing oil for the benefit of the Kurdistan Democratic Party,” he said.
“Marketing the region’s oil through partisan companies there is a great waste of public money in the country and a betrayal of the constitution and the Iraqi people,” he added.
“The other condition is to amend the Parliamentary Elections Law, and set up a mechanism to dissolve the House of Representatives to hold elections next October, stressing that any mechanism that takes place in this regard outside the constitutional contexts is totally rejected,” Shams al-Din added.
Parliament is scheduled to hold a session next Saturday to vote on the fiscal budget bill for 2021.

Hawrami said in a press statement, “The Kurdistan Regional Government has concluded, since April 2020, with the federal government, 3 types of agreements regarding financial dues,” noting that “there are currently two proposals about the Kurdistan region’s share of the budget for 2021, a proposal for the federal government,” And another for the Finance Committee and Parliamentary Blocs. ”
He added, “The region is ready to implement one of these two proposals that were agreed upon,” noting that “the Parliamentary Finance Committee voted for the article on the Kurdistan region’s share of the budget, so the region’s share is not the reason for delaying the vote on the budget law.”
