{Politics: Euphrates News} Samir Hawrami, the official spokesman for the Vice President of the Kurdistan Regional Government, announced that the new formulation agreed upon in the draft fiscal budget for 2021 included two proposals, “pointing out that” the region is ready to implement one of these two proposals. ”
Hawrami said in a press statement, “The Kurdistan Regional Government has concluded, since April 2020, with the federal government, 3 types of agreements regarding financial dues,” noting that “there are currently two proposals about the Kurdistan region’s share of the budget for 2021, a proposal for the federal government,” And another for the Finance Committee and Parliamentary Blocs. ”
He added, “The region is ready to implement one of these two proposals that were agreed upon,” noting that “the Parliamentary Finance Committee voted for the article on the Kurdistan region’s share of the budget, so the region’s share is not the reason for delaying the vote on the budget law.”
Hawrami stated, “The delegation of the Kurdistan region will return to Baghdad whenever required,” pointing out that “Qubad Talabani, head of the negotiating delegation, informed the Iraqi parties that if the share of the Kurdistan region constitutes an obstacle to providing services to the provinces of central and southern Iraq, then send the budget.” The share is for them, but since 2014, financial dues have not been sent for many months, nor have the problems of these areas been addressed. ”
He stressed that the Kurdistan Regional Government is proceeding with the steps of reforms and that all efforts continue to reach an agreement with Baghdad.
Parliament is scheduled to hold a session next Saturday to vote on the fiscal budget bill for 2021.
The deputies ruled out voting on the budget on Saturday because no agreement was reached so far on the differences, especially the region’s share.
