Al-Furat News: Baghdad} A member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee for Diyala Governorate, Ahmad Mazhar al-Jubouri, confirmed that the House of Representatives will not vote on the borrowing bill in the current amount.
Al-Jubouri said in a press statement, that Parliament will not vote on a borrowing law in the current amount requested by the government, 41 trillion dinars, and Parliament will work to reduce it in half, less or a little more, in order to speed up the disbursement of salaries.
Al-Jubouri stressed that the salaries of employees should not be included in any financial crisis that the government is going through, stressing, “The government is legally obligated to provide employees’ salaries in various ways, and the citizen cannot be held accountable for the failure of government policies to provide a citizen’s right.”
Al-Jubouri added that the government is evading its failure by a harsh borrowing law on the state, for which the citizen will pay sooner or later.
