Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, MP Moeen Al-Kadhimi, revealed today, Saturday, the reasons for returning the budget to the House of Representatives, while confirming that the committee has opened an investigation into the matter.
Al-Kadhimi said in an interview with Al-Sumaria TV that the budget tables approved by the House of Representatives are the same tables sent by the government, and when they were transferred from the Parliament Presidency to the Prime Minister’s Office, it became clear that some changes had occurred in these tables, adding that they were returned to Parliament for the purpose of amending them and resending them to the Council of Ministers as they were.
Al-Kadhimi added that this amendment is in the hands of the Presidency of the Council of Representatives, and it can make the amendments and resend them without referring to the Finance Committee, indicating that the Finance Committee will open an investigation into this change in some of the numbers that raised the budget from 211 trillion to 226 trillion.
MP Baqir Al-Saadi revealed, on Thursday (July 11, 2024), that the budget would return to the House of Representatives to make some minor amendments to it.
