BAGHDAD,— Iraqi President and his deputies’ monthly salaries amount reach 269 million dinars (roughly $ 235,500) Iraqi MP for the Coalition of State Law, Awatif Naima said on Tuesday, indicating that this amount represents a waste of public money, Iraqinews reported.

”President Fuad Masum receives 80 million dinars ($ 70,000) as a monthly salary,” pointing out that, “All three of the Vice President of the Republic receive 63 million dinars as a monthly salary.” Naima said.

“The salaries of Masum and his deputies represent a waste of public money, particularly as we live in a critical economic crisis due to the drop in oil price,” she said, calling for “reducing the salaries of the three presidencies and those with high status into half to avoid the shortfall to the general budget.”

Kurdish magazine (Levin) reported in 2010, remuneration and the monthly salary of Massoud Barzani, the president of the autonomous Kurdistan Region in Iraq’s north is $400,000 dollars per month.

This amount is equivalent to the salary and allowances of Barack Obama President of the USA for a full year, because Obama is the salary ($ 33,333) dollars and only equal to ($400,000) dollars a year. The Kurdistan region budget not to exceed 8 billion dollars a year in return that the annual budget for the United States is ($14,264) trillion dollars.

Former Iraqi president Jalal Talabani monthly salary was 75 million Iraqi dinars, which make 900 million dinars (roughly $700,000) annually,

Need to be mentioned that a medical source in Erbil revealed in 2014 that the cost of  treating Iraqi President Jalal Talabani amounted to $150 million USD from Iraq’s budget.  The source said, in a statement to Iraqi News that “Talabani’s medical expenses during the first six months in Germany amounted to $120 million USD, indicating that he was transferred later to another place. The expenses spent on taking care of him were estimated at $30 million US dollars.”

LB Agree, I do believe the 2017 Budget excluded all three Vice Presidents salary allocations as well per the IMF conditions in regards to shaving some Gov't expenses.  I need to do some further research for all Senior Gov't officials monthly salaries because I do know PM Abadi did cut salaries for Ministers to include himself mentioned in earlier articles.   Now we know why the IMF demanded that the GOI cut Gov't spending specifically cutting positions across the board and lowering their salaries....

 

GO RV!!

Well if you think about it, at a 1 to 1 rate you already know what to pay them 50/70k a month

 

Electronically this transition is simply easy

So 5-1 is feasible

I know that everyone likes to think good about some of Iraq's political leaders, but dang almost 5 million dollars a yr whilst their people are starving and don't even have electricity all day and ISIS is slaughtering folks in the streets. And these idiots are smiling Every dang single one of them is a Godless fool, that demonstrates the  most selfish nature that I've ever had the misfortune to witness. They have zero shame And they are definitely on Santa's naughty list.
