Al-Sayhoud noted, “Waiting for the report of the investigation committee, and legally confidence will be withdrawn from them if it is proven that they tampered with the tables.”
The parliamentary finance committee had revealed different budget tables before and after its approval, with a difference of 15 trillion dinars.
Committee member Moeen Al-Kazemi told {Al-Furat News} that the budget tables that arrived from the Council of Ministers and were approved inside the parliament are the same as the government tables; therefore, the letter that we received from the Council of Ministers states that the tables that were referred after the vote have a big difference and discrepancy in some sections, reaching 15 trillion dinars.
He added that the spending budget amounts to 211 trillion dinars; But the tables signed by the parliament presidency and sent to the cabinet read 226 trillion dinars.
