{Baghdad: Al Furat News} A member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee said that the draft federal budget law for 2021 is long overdue, and the House of Representatives needs at least a month to legislate it.
MP Sherwan Mirza said in a press statement today, Friday, that “the draft federal budget law for 2021 has been long overdue and the House of Representatives needs a month to legislate the law.”
He added, “The Federal Cabinet has a session to discuss and approve the budget tomorrow, Saturday, and I think that the budget will be before the House of Representatives at its next session scheduled for next Tuesday.”
He explained, “If the parliament is able to legislate the law before 1/20/2021, the government will be able to disburse the employees’ salaries on the specified date, but if the legislation of the law is delayed more than that, the government will need to return to the previous law and spend 1/12 of the total budget.
