{Policy: Euphrates News} A member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Youssef Al-Kalbi, announced the readiness of the draft federal budget law and its submission to a vote.
Al-Kalbi said, for the {without charges} program broadcast by Al-Farat satellite channel on Sunday evening, that: “The committee has finished 99% of the budget and waiting for the date of the session to be scheduled, and if the voting session on the law does not take place until next Wednesday, we will work to collect signatures to hold the session.”
He added, “The first axis of the dispute revolves around the delivery of the region’s oil to Baghdad and we have a problem of stopping exporting through Ceyhan port and the problem with Turkey will not be resolved for months.”
Al-Kalbi continued, “The problem of the region with Baghdad revolves around the delivery of its oil to Sumo and the subject is purely technical and we submitted the proposals 21 days before the discussion and asked them to respond,” pointing out that “Deputy Ikhlas Al-Dulaimi fabricated a lot of problems to end the parliamentary session and we asked the Speaker of the House of Representatives to replace it in the Finance Committee.”
“The second axis of the dispute with the Kurdistan region over the calculation of money from oil revenues in the account of the Central Bank and the Parti Party refused,” he continued.
He pointed out that “the Office of Financial Supervision does not know where the money of the region has been spent since 2004, and the region is represented by parties and the Kurdish people are Iraqi, and the National Union has made a bold decision in favor of the Kurdish people and demanded justice in distributing money to the citizens of the region.”
Al-Kalbi denied that “the Finance Committee suspended its work and that it is going to vote on the budget, and the letter of the deputy speaker of parliament is invalid as it exceeded his powers and transferred the position from all Iraqis to my party to disrupt the work of the committee.”
“The position of sovereignty is embarrassing because of the number of displaced people, teachers and teachers working in the Kurdistan region, and we appreciate their embarrassment, and more than 20 deputies in the committee participated in discussing the details of the budget,” he added.
Al-Kalbi continued, “The coordination framework meeting called for the speedy adoption of the budget, there are basics and principles drawn up by leaders and there are laws drawn up by parliament,” noting that “the deficit in the federal budget reaches 65 trillion dinars, which is a planning deficit and not realistic under the rest of the year.”
“The allocations of Wasit governorate in the budget are not enough for any project, and the amount we succeeded in transferring did not exceed 7 trillion dinars, and the Finance Committee decided to increase the allocations of the governorates and oblige the government from next year to open support funds for all governorates, especially the holy and poorest areas, and Basra must be more equitable because it provides 90% of the budget.”
“There is no tax on mobile cards in the budget, which will proceed to vote and voting controls will be present at the session,” Al-Kalbi concluded.
