The Parliamentary Finance Committee denied today, Friday, setting a date for voting on the General Budget Law for 2021, while noting that the Council of Ministers did not respond to parliamentary amendments to the Budget Law.
Committee member Ahmed Hajj Rashid said, “The reports that talk about setting a date for voting on the budget law are incorrect,” stressing that “political disputes over the Kurdistan Region’s share of the budget law continue.”
He added that “the region’s share of the budget is still 12.67% and has not been decided yet, despite the Kurdish blocs’ approval of the government text previously agreed upon, but until now there is no agreement to amend this paragraph or replace it with a new text.”
Haji Rashid indicated, “The Council of Ministers has not yet responded to the amendments that were drafted and rented by the Parliamentary Finance Committee on the articles of the budget law.”
