Member of Parliament Falah al-Khafaji announced on Saturday his rejection of imposing additional taxes and fees on citizens to address the financial deficit, calling for reducing unnecessary government expenditures and combating corruption and waste. Al-Khafaji stated during the “Openly” program on Al-Sumaria channel that “Parliament represents the people, and should not go towards imposing taxes or fees that affect the ordinary citizen and consumer.”
He added that “addressing the budget deficit must begin with combating corruption and reducing waste, along with curbing unnecessary operational expenses in ministries and government institutions.” He also pointed out that “the purchase of cars, furniture, and government delegations are among the expenditure categories that should be reviewed and reduced, instead of imposing new financial burdens on citizens.”
