The legal expert, Ali Al-Tamimi, explained, on Tuesday, that the increase in the exchange rate of the dollar violates the constitution, which stipulates that the government must provide decent living for the citizen, pointing out that Parliament cannot reduce the exchange rate, but it can propose to return the budget to the government for the utmost necessity .
Al-Tamimi said, “Article 62 of the constitution permits parliament, upon the arrival of the draft budget, to transfer between chapters and chapters as well as reduce the total amounts, and he may, when necessary, return them to the cabinet and propose an increase in total expenditures .”
He added, “Article 57 of the constitution requires the budget law to be legislated even if the legislative term ends. This means that Parliament cannot reduce the exchange rate of the dollar that was set in the budget, but rather .. Parliament can propose and return the budget to the Council of Ministers because of the absolute necessity for that. Because it violates Article 30 of the Constitution, which requires the government to provide decent living for people .
Al-Tamimi indicated that “Parliament faces a historical position as it represents the people in standing by the people and preventing the increase in the difficulty of living, and in the event that Parliament legislates the budget law, it is subject to appeal before the Federal Supreme Court according to Article 93 of the Constitution, as this contravenes Article 30 of the Constitution and Articles 23 and 26 From the Charter of the International Covenant. ”
