The Finance Committee in the House of Representatives suggested that the government submit another appeal against the 2023 budget.
Committee member Muhammad Nuri told the official Al-Sabah newspaper, “The government filed a lawsuit with the Federal Court, as the appeal included paragraphs within 12 legal articles in the budget, which are Articles 2, 16, and 20. And 28, 62, 63, 65, 70, 71, 72 and 75, which relate to contracts, appointments, compensation and salary deductions.
He pointed out that the government’s argument confirmed that “the budget law published in the Al-Waqi’ newspaper included the inclusion of a number of articles that were not included in the draft law submitted by the government to parliament, in addition to the fact that additions and amendments to the budget items have a financial side and are inconsistent with the government program.”
Nuri added, “This was the first round of appeals, and we expect that there will be other appeals by the government for a set of other materials that have been added,” indicating that his committee “is awaiting instructions for implementing the budget, after issuing a state order with a group of materials from the Federal Court to stop the implementation of these articles.” “.
Regarding past appeals to the budget, the deputy explained that it “will affect the budget in a specific way and not in all aspects, but the most prominent is what is related to contracts, additions and financial costs, while there is no impact on the region development program and the basics of budget work in both its investment and operational parts.”
