Shafak News / A document issued by the General Secretariat of the Iraqi Council of Ministers revealed the latter’s decision to stop the payment of salaries to employees of the Kurdistan Region, claiming that the region had not fulfilled its oil obligations.

According to the document issued on April 16th and directed to the Ministry of Finance, the Secretariat of the Council of Ministers ordered a halt to the payment of salaries due to the failure of the Kurdistan Region to fulfill its obligations in the country’s financial budget for 2019, which is to deliver 250 thousand barrels per day of oil to the Iraqi marketing company “SOMO”.

The document stated that the Ministry of Finance is obligated to stop the disbursement of salaries of the Kurdistan Region and to recover the amounts disbursed in violation of the law since the beginning of this year.

The Deputy Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament, Bashir Al-Haddad, had called on the Iraqi government Thursday to release the financial dues of the Kurdistan Region and not to endanger the citizens ’livelihoods and livelihoods.

This came in a request addressed to the General Secretariat of the Iraqi Council of Ministers.

Al-Haddad said that the laws in force “necessitate deduction of the amount of damage achieved from the application of Article (10 / second / c) from the Budget Law and the release of the remaining amounts to the region’s account.”

He added, “The deduction of some amounts should not result in the non-release of what is left of them to violate the provisions of the law and without a bond.”

Al-Haddad asked for “approaching the Ministry of Finance regarding the release of the amounts that follow on account of the Kurdistan Region and not stopping the funding to violate the provisions of the law and endangering the livelihoods of citizens and their livelihoods to risk, especially under difficult circumstances, as well as what causes that to harm national cohesion and harm to the people of one people.”

After tightening the screws on him .. A parliamentarian expects Al-Kazemi to step down soon

Shafaq News / The representative of the State of Law bloc, Kati al-Rikabi, saw on Saturday that the Prime Minister-designate Mustafa al-Kazimi faces obstacles to completing his government formation and submitting it to parliament, expecting to step down from the task of forming the government in the coming days as a result.

Al-Rikabi said in a special statement to Shafaq News, that “Al-Kazimi gave the Sunni and Kurdish powers full authorization to nominate names for ministerial portfolios, but he disagreed with the bloc that nominated him (Shiites), and he did not deal with them by distributing ministries correctly.”

He added, “There is duplication with Al-Kazemi in dealing with the political components and blocs,” adding that “this may prompt him in the coming days to present his apology for the assignment according to the news and what we are seeing on the political scene.”

Al-Rikabi indicated that “it was first for Al-Kazemi to benefit from the mistakes of the former commissioners, Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi and Adnan Al-Zarfi, and to choose suitable personalities in the cabinet and form his government according to the public interest.”

A political source revealed to Shafak News on Saturday that the Shiite forces had given Al-Kazemi 48 hours to replace the names of the candidates in the cabinet.

According to the source, the Shiite forces protested against candidates to fill the ministerial portfolios and gave him 48 hours to replace them, in a move that would increase pressure on Al-Kazemi in the coming days.

On April 9, Iraqi President Barham Salih tasked Al-Kazimi to form the new government within 30 days.

Initial indications were that Al-Kazemi won the support of the majority of the Shiite, Sunni and Kurdish political forces, which made belief prevail that his mission would be easy, unlike his predecessors Adnan Al-Zarfi and Muhammad Tawfiq Allawi, who failed to mobilize the necessary support to form a government.

However, disputes escalated in recent days over candidates for ministerial portfolios, especially within the Shiite house, where Shiite leaders held several meetings without containing the differences so far.

The new government will succeed the government of Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi, who resigned in early December 2019 under pressure from popular protests calling for the departure and accountability of all political class accused of corruption and waste of state funds.

Shafaq News / Imad Bajlan, a member of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, commented today, Saturday, on the refusal of Shiite political forces to the cabin of the Prime Minister-designate Mustafa Al-Kazemi, and the candidates for this cabinet are Kurdish and Sunni political forces.

Baglan said, to Shafak News, that “some of the Shiite political forces do not care about the interests of Iraq and the disasters and crises the country is going through in economic, health and political affairs, but rather they present and prefer narrow party interests over the interests of Iraq,” noting that “these forces exert pressure on the Prime Minister In charge of accepting that minister and rejecting this minister from the candidates of the Sunni and Kurdish political forces, and even Shiites.

He added that “some Shiite political forces have a clear duplication. They say that we are given full freedom to the Prime Minister-designate Mustafa Al-Kazemi to choose his ministers, then they interfere with the issue of naming and selecting ministers.”

And Baghlan added, “We have entered the time instead of overtime, to pass the government of Al-Kazemi and delay its formation. This does not serve the interests of Iraq, and we hope that an agreement will soon be reached between the Shiite political forces to pass the new government in Parliament.”

And a member of the Kurdistan Democratic Party concluded by saying that “Kurdistan is a region distinguished from the rest of the Iraqi provinces. The region has a parliament, a prime minister, and a regional presidency, and we have a real constitutional entity, and for this we have the right to nominate our ministers for ministerial portfolios, which are from the right and merit of the Kurdish component, The Shiite component was also entitled to nominate a person as prime minister, as both options are constitutional, and nothing differs from each other.

A source in the Al-Fatah coalition led by Hadi al-Amiri said on Friday that Prime Minister-designate Mustafa al-Kazimi and Shiite forces had reached an agreement to replace some of the cabinet candidates in his upcoming government formation.

Muhammad al-Ghabban, head of the Parliamentary Bloc of al-Fath led by the Secretary General of the Badr Hadi al-Amiri organization, announced earlier in the day the Shiite political forces refused the approval of Prime Minister-designate Mustafa al-Kazemi to nominate Kurdish and Sunni blocs to fill ministerial portfolios in his next government.

Al-Kazemi has the support of most of the major political forces in the three Shi’a, Kurdish, and Sunni components, and has promised to give confidence to his government formation through its parliamentary blocs in the House of Representatives.

On April 9 this year, President of the Republic, Barham Salih, authorized Al-Kazimi to form the government within 30 days, less than an hour after the former Prime Minister-designate, Adnan al-Zarfi, announced his apology for this task.

And Al-Masoudi said, “The next 72 hours will explain Al-Kazimi’s ability to form a government, submit to political desires, or apologize for assignment.”

A source in the Al-Fatah coalition led by Hadi al-Amiri said on Friday that Prime Minister-designate Mustafa al-Kazimi and Shiite forces had reached an agreement to replace some of the cabinet candidates in his upcoming government formation.
