The Parliamentary Services and Reconstruction Committee confirmed today, Thursday, that the financial budget regarding governorate allocations will not be released until the next local elections are completed.
Committee member Baqir Al-Saadi said in a statement to Al-Mutala’ Agency, “The financial allocations from the budget to the governorates will not be released at the present time and will be released to the governorates after the end of the upcoming provincial council elections.”
Al-Saadi added, “The truth behind this is so that these allocations and budgets are not exploited by some conservatives for political issues in conjunction with the elections.”
He pointed out that: “The budget includes many large service projects for all governorates.”
He explained that “food security funds are still being disposed of by the governorates,” stressing that “some governors and officials will be held accountable for the spending and fate of Food Security Law funds.”
