Today, Thursday, Member of the House of Representatives, Zahra Al-Bajari, suggested that voting on the general budget law be completed before the end of the current legislative term, while she confirmed that next week will be the beginning of the voting sessions on all the schedules sent by the government.
Al-Bajari said in an interview with the Maalouma Agency, “Delaying the budget for a longer period will lose its effectiveness with regard to sending the current year’s allocations and implementing projects,” noting that “the House of Representatives is determined to pass the budget after reviewing all its financial schedules.”
She continued, “Failure to pass it during the current extension will postpone it until the next legislative term,” noting that “the reasons for delaying sending the general budget to the House of Representatives are still absent until now.”
Al-Bajari concluded her speech, “We hope that voting on the budget will not enter into the circle of disagreements that occurred in previous years,” indicating that “next week will be the beginning of the voting sessions on all the schedules that were sent by the government.”
The Council of Ministers had announced that all the general federal budget schedules would be sent to the Finance Committee in the House of Representatives in order to formally vote on them during the upcoming sessions.
Many popular and political circles criticized the paragraphs included in the budget by increasing the region’s share and reducing allocations to the southern governorates, even though they represent the main economic resource for Iraq.
