Thank you Yota and Buti for always keeping us updated!  I appreciate you both VERY much!

[Pitcher]

Legal Expert Tarek Harb revealed privileges recently allocated for the former Parliament members by a law that was issued months ago and was not published in the official gazette until July 16, 2018.

 

On his Facebook account, Harb explained that nothing about the law was mentioned when it was being worked on, prepared, discussed and issued, stressing it was approved in secret.

 

He underlined that the former parliament did not set the date of the law's issuance during its term before the parliamentary elections, as it set the date on the first of July 2018.

 

Harb said that the reason behind the selection of the date is to ensure that the position of the MPs, of the former parliament, is not affected by this law.

 

In addition, he underscored that the new law stipulates that the tenure of service of MP is 15 years regardless of his actual term in office, which violates the law of retirement that requires that there be 15 years of effective service to obtain the pension.

 

He pointed out that this law violated the provisions of the law of retirement, which states that the payment of pension at the age of 50 years, as the new law allows the spending of half of the pension even if the MP did not reach this age, while if the MP reached 50 years then the MP is entitled to full pension, which means that the MP's status is better than the retired MP.

 

The Parliamentary elections was marked by record low turnout. It was the first since Iraq declared victory over the ISIS group and the fourth since the 2003 US-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein.

The Iraqi government is moving to challenge the retirement of deputies

 

 

Revealed a legal source in the Iraqi government's intention to appeal the law of privileges of the House of Representatives. 
"The government can challenge the law of the privileges of the House of Representatives because the constitution stipulated in Article 62 to return to the Council of Ministers when approving the laws of financial sufficiency," said Bumper, who asked not to be named. 
He expected that "the government will go in the coming days to establish a lawsuit against the House of Representatives to challenge the unconstitutionality of the new law of the House of Representatives." 
"The House of Representatives was unique in legislation without taking the government's advice, and then added undeclared financial burdens in the budget." 
The Iraqi Retirement Authority announced the promotion of pension transactions for former MPs to start paying their salaries after the issuance of a presidential decree, in conjunction with the protests in southern Iraq to demand better services and job opportunities for the unemployed, which sparked a wave of anger on the sites of communication and social networks.
Iraqi President Fuad Masum finally issued a decree to refer 328 deputies from the previous parliamentary session to retirement. 
The document, which was released on Monday, shows that 328 deputies from the previous parliamentary session have been referred to retirement, with the President of the Chamber of Deputies and the Minister of Finance acting as of July 1. 
This comes in conjunction with the protests that took place more than a week in the provinces of Basra, Dhi Qar, Najaf and Maysan, to demand the provision of jobs and improve the environment services; which sparked a wave of anger on social networking sites, criticized the allocation of such pensions in such difficult financial conditions, The importance of channeling those lifelong funds to the provision of services and employment opportunities for young people.
For years, the salaries of members of the Iraqi parliament have been controversial in the popular circles because they are given to each deputy in previous sessions, which means that the numbers will increase in the coming years, especially since the number of members of the Council per session is 328 deputies and a pension of about $ 5,000 per month . 
In 2014, the Federal Court of Iraq abolished the pensions of members of the Council of Representatives and provincial councils, and said that, contrary to the Constitution and Article 130 of the rules of procedure of the House of Representatives, after the demonstrations erupted in the provinces of Basra, Dhi Qar, Maysan, Najaf and other Iraqi cities.
