(Baghdad: Al Furat News) A member of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Majid Shankali, published a tweet about breaking the quorum for the questioning session of the Central Bank Governor, Mustafa Ghaleb, on Wednesday.
“Yesterday it was confirmed and proved to everyone, on top of which is the bloc that claims not to have any executive position, that the governor of the Central Bank is affiliated with that bloc.
It is the one who worked to not complete a quorum inside the parliament to prevent his interrogation,” Shankali said in his tweet on Twitter .
Yesterday, Wednesday, the House of Representatives was scheduled to question the Governor of the Central Bank by the head of the Parliamentary Wisdom Bloc, Faleh Al-Sari, after parliament was not convinced of the first answers during its hosting of one of the parliamentary sessions last November, but he announced that they were submitted to another notice.
The representative of the Nasr Bloc, Hoda Sajjad, revealed in a televised interview broadcast on the Al-Furat satellite channel, that a parliamentary bloc came to question the head of the Media and Communications Authority in absentia and evaded the attendance of the interrogation session of the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq scheduled for Wednesday in the parliament session.
She said that “the determination of some MPs not to proceed with the questioning of the governor of the Central Bank gave a bad message to the Iraqi street,” blaming the Presidency of Parliament “responsibility for the failure to hold the quorum for the session and placing the interrogation paragraph in a crowded schedule.”
Sajjad also announced her surprise that “the first deputy speaker did not ask the media department to publish the attendance as he does with the rest of the sessions, noting that all the representatives were present from three in the afternoon to six in the evening, and the start of the session did not ring and we were surprised to raise it to further notice.”
The head of the Parliamentary Wisdom bloc, Faleh Al-Sari, explained to the Euphrates on December 20 that the criteria set by the governor of the Central Bank set the country with financial crises, and we have objections and criticisms of his choice and performance, and that the answers of the central bank governor were not feasible with regard to raising the exchange rate.
On the 19 of last month, the Central Bank of Iraq issued a decision to raise the price of buying and selling the dollar, as part of the austerity measures adopted by the government, despite warnings of high prices of foodstuffs and commodities offered in the markets.
The policy of the Central Bank of Iraq caused the dollar exchange to rise to large losses among the owners of shops and its reflection on the purchasing power of citizens.
