[Ayna - Baghdad] 
MP of the coalition of Iraqi forces that several draft laws are ready to vote and waiting for consensus and quorum in the House of Representatives.

"The parliament is about to complete its legislative age and the people are waiting to pass several important laws to be a positive sign of the current council in the democratic and legislative process in the country," Khamis al-Mahlawi said in a statement. 

"One of the most important of these laws is the unified pension law, nursing law, health professions, federal service, accountability, justice and its members." 

He called Mahlawi "members of parliament to achieve a quorum and work to pass laws to serve the people of the country, which is expected from his representatives positive steps in this regard." 

The House of Representatives is scheduled to hold its regular session on Thursday. 

The parliament has failed in recent weeks to hold several meetings because of the absence of deputies and the failure to achieve a quorum.

The Presidency of the House of Representatives increased the penalty for absentee MPs to lift the fine of absence from one session from 500 thousand dinars to one million dinars, but without achieving a result. 

Observers attributed the inability of the parliament to hold its meetings in the recent period to the preoccupation of members of the electoral campaigns, although informal, although remained about a month for the current parliamentary session before the general elections on 12 May.

Thanks Yota...This either has to be mentally challenging for 'some' members of Parliament that refuse to participate and can't grasp the importance in their attendence....or...This's the consequences of the power that Maliki still has in influencing the ideology of the old regime...jmho

The GOI. Like dragging a boat anchor through the desert. This is what the Iraq people elected in 2014. They have power to change this, but will they??? And blaming lack of quorum on upcoming elections....hysterical. Attendance has been like this for last 8 years. Might as well adjourn for the summer. Hope the next batch is better....or that we are all cashed out and long gone. There's always hope. Good riddance GOI fools.

They need to either eliminate the quorum, or lower it significantly.

Sooooo ...... they say “ the coming days “ to vote on the Oil & Gas Law and such. Neat trick if they can do it, now they’re all at the Camel 🐪 Races & don’t know when they’ll return.

 

Camel Racing is a hoot, what can I say !

[NEPatriotsFan1]

Abadi needs to write an executive order that states “ If you do not show up to vote and be part of the quorum, your lack of attendance will signify (no objection) to the law and therefore it will pass with the numbers that are actually present.... plus affirmative votes for everyone absent will be added to the total to equal a quorum!” We will not be held hostage by the minority any longer

Conscious / Baghdad / L.H.

A member of the Badr parliamentary bloc Ali al-Morshedi said on Friday that the parliament's presidency adjourned the meeting to another notice due to the absence of a large number of deputies under the travel of the council's president Salim al-Jubouri, and the preoccupation of some MPs with election campaigns, in addition to the absence of Kurds from parliament.

Al-Morshedi said in a statement quoted by (Iraqi News Agency Information / INA) that the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives adjourned the session, after he found a defect in the quorum and the absence of large MPs from various blocs.

He added that the absence of deputies comes under the travel of the President of the Council Salim al-Jubouri to Turkey, in addition to the absence of Kurdish deputies from parliamentary sessions.

He explained that most of the deputies were absent from yesterday's meeting, because of their concern to prepare for the campaign, which will be launched soon.

Al-Morshedi confirmed that the parliament's presidency will determine the day of the last session of the parliament, in order to vote on all the broken laws and solve the problems and differences, if any.
