The previous Parliamentary Finance Committee denied, on Tuesday, statements that talked about the expectation that the current year 2022 will be free of the budget due to the delay in Parliament and the absence of a government, likely to be approved in the month of next June.
And the former member of the Finance Committee and the winning representative for this session, Jamal Kougar, said in an interview seen by / the information /, that “the absence of a budget for this year is incorrect, and the issue is far from the constitutional timings, because without a budget it means that the new government will be a (caretaker) government.” It will not implement its government program, and if it does not implement it, it means that a quarter of its life has gone without implementing its government program,” he said, expecting that “the 2022 budget will be approved in next June.”
He added that “this year’s budget will not contain anything new and will not differ from the previous one and will be similar to others, because the new government will not have room for creativity and the old government is the one who set the budget.”
Regarding the Cabinet’s decision to create job levels, Cougar stated that “the funds for these degrees are supposed to be included in the 2022 budget, but if the installation is according to (deletion and creation), it is possible, but any new installation is not possible.”
He explained that “according to the statements of the Minister of Finance that Iraq will lay off its employees after ten years, this means that the numbers are large, and according to international standards, the number of employees in Iraq is eight times the rest of the countries.” finished/25
