Member of the Parliamentary Energy Committee, Dahel Radhi, called today, Sunday, to expedite the legislation of the oil and gas law before the end of the current parliamentary session.

Radhi told Al-Maalouma Agency, “The oil and gas law is part of the government program voted on by the House of Representatives and aims to manage the oil wealth process in Iraq and achieve fair distribution among the oil-producing provinces.”

He added, “Political differences and the lack of consensus since the first session of the House of Representatives have kept the oil and gas bill in the government’s drawers.”

He stressed the need to “expedite sending the oil and gas law to the House of Representatives for discussion and voting, stressing that the law is concerned with regulating the country’s natural resources.”
