Baghdad / news

The Parliamentary Finance Committee decided this week to host the Minister of Finance to discuss the reasons for delaying the distribution of salaries of employees and retirees and not to send the 2020 budget.

He pointed out that “the committee will discuss with the Minister of Finance, the Undersecretary of the Ministry and the Director General of the Accounting Department via a television circle the reasons for these delays, as well as discuss the conditions of salaries of free lecturers and contracts, as well as other outstanding financial files.”

He added that “this discussion will discuss these files with the Ministry officials in detail to find solutions to them, and in the event the Minister of Finance does not attend the meeting, the committee will be obliged to hold a meeting after the blessed Eid Al-Adha to take decisions on that.”

It is noteworthy that the House of Representatives has held up many of its sessions due to the Corona pandemic, including those related to the discussion of financial files, and it is hoped that it will resume its work after the Eid holiday.

Shafaq News / The Minister of Agriculture and Water Resources in the Kurdistan Region, Bikard Talabani, announced on Sunday the approval of Federal Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi to pay the salaries of the General Directorate of Dams and Water Reserves in the region .

Talabani said in a post on social networking sites “Facebook” at an advanced time this morning, that the President of the Republic, Barham Salih, told her by phone call to solve the problem of the salaries of the Directorate with the Prime Minister .

She added that Al-Kazemi decided to pay the salaries of the General Directorate of Dams and Water Reserves during this week.

The previous Iraqi government headed by Adel Abdul-Mahdi had cut last April the salaries of state employees in the Kurdistan Region after accusing the region of not committing to an agreement to deliver 250 thousand barrels of oil per day to the company “Sumo” owned by Baghdad, which was denied by the government of Erbil .

Al-Kazemi’s government agreed more than two months ago to launch one month’s salaries for the region’s employees, and mortgaged it on a regular basis on Baghdad and Erbil reaching an agreement on the oil file and the region’s share of the federal budget.

The government of the region had decided last June to deduct 21 percent of employee salaries for one month, due to the financial crisis that the region is suffering as a result of Baghdad cutting the salaries of the region’s employees and declining oil prices in global markets .

The government said it had taken this step to be able to distribute the available funds to all employees.
