MP of the coalition of forces Mahasen Hamdoun, Wednesday, that can not vote on the federal budget for 2018 in its current form for the lack of rights of our provinces.

"The budget for the current year did not include the rights of Nineveh province of salaries paid to employees, which exceed half a billion dinars," Hamdoon told Mawazine News. "The federal budget for 2018 can not be voted in its present form because it has neglected the rights of our provinces."

"We have applied to Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi to add this item on the disbursement of salaries, but we have not received any answer," she added.

She pointed out that "the amount allocated for the reconstruction of the liberated provinces does not exceed 180 billion dinars and there are no allocations to the affected homes as compensation for the destruction of their role and this measure will delay the process of restoring stability and the return of displaced persons."

The parliament session is scheduled to include the budget law today

Oh but they still expect a full pay check.   Take away their pay and fine them at the same time.  The only language they understand is money.

PATHETIC !!!!

 

Let's see. 4 meetings (if you call it that). Nothing accomplished. No surprise there. They did manage to discuss guidelines for nurse uniforms couple weeks back. We can expect they will take all of April off to focus on elections, all of May off while they hand-count all the ballots coming to Baghdad by camel train. All of June for Ramadan. All of July and August due to heat (who knew the desert was hot?) Then into September so new/old Prime Minister is chosen and elects all his cabinet (which are still vacant positions from 2014) and GOI would never approve. Sound about right??

 

Lest we forget they met about 66 times in 2017 and accomplished that all important.............oops, that's right.........they accomplished NOTHING!!

 

Pathetic is too kind a word. But I'm left speechless to find one that more aptly describes their utter uselessness.

There’s a pretty good chance most if not all politicians no matter what country they are in don’t live paycheck to paycheck like most working folk and I’m pretty sure these clowns are probably sitting on a pretty good nest egg that should be taken away along with there paychecks but it’s worth a try. All this is just normal political gridlock where they don’t want anything to change and keep the curruption wheel turning, it’s the same bs our president is up against trying to get things done. One of the great things about Mr Trump is he’s not a politician. Will there be change in 2018? Let’s hope so, until then the circus goes on  😀 🤡

Wow this is crazy I’m so sick of Iraq lazy  attitude and lying rhetoric ... hopefully we see something soon !!!

Have them draw straws, 1 through 3xx, number of representatives that are supposed to be there. On day one, take all those that did not show up for work and shoot them. On day 2 hold the session and see if any work gets done. If yes all go home. If  there is infighting and nothing gets done. It is LOTTO time. Draw a number and shoot them. Work should be completed by the end of week.

Hmmmmm.   Looks to me like they’re stalling, for some reason. Wonder what it could be?
