Shafaq News/ The head of the Democratic Party bloc in the Iraqi Parliament, Vian Sabri, revealed today, Saturday, her bloc’s intention to amend the budget law, while indicating that the amendment includes sending the entire Kurdistan region’s share.
The head of the Democratic Party parliamentary bloc, Vian Sabry, said in a statement received by Shafaq News Agency: “The Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government agreed with the Prime Minister of Iraq to pay three months’ salaries, and Baghdad must pay the remaining two months.”
Sabry added: “Now Kurdistan’s share of 12.67% of Iraq’s actual spending is paid. We want the region’s share to be paid from Iraq’s total revenues, not from the actual agreement, so this item in the budget must be amended.”
She stated, “We are working to amend the budget law so that the Kurdistan Region’s share will be sent in full. If employee salaries are funded for three months, they will remain two months, and the Iraqi government must pay the salaries of these two months, provided that the final accounts are settled at the end of the current year.”
