He stressed, "His high keenness to complete the necessary legislative procedures to amend the Federal Supreme Court law or enact its law in a manner consistent with the provisions of the constitution as soon as possible, not because this is primarily related to the court's competence to ratify the final results of the legislative elections, but also to the role that the constitutional legislator has set for it. In defending the constitution’s protection and the rights and freedoms that are constitutionally guaranteed by monitoring the extent to which legislation conforms to the constitution’s provisions in addition to its other competencies.
 Parliament also affirms, "its relentless pursuit to reach the largest possible consensus between the parliamentary blocs regarding the aforementioned law with the aim of passing it in accordance with the constitutional requirements that required the enactment of the law by a two-thirds majority of the members of the House of Representatives, and bypassing the state of obstruction that is currently taking place in the work of the court due to the imbalance of the quorum of its members, which the House of Representatives did not have any."

@Mammaw I'm not sure how many folks they have in parliament, should be over 200. They need 163 or 165 to hold a session in that range. Refugee law needs amendments. Per the article..

“And that "the general budget law has not been fully prepared yet, and we will wait for the outcomes of the meeting of political leaders," noting that the region’s delegation that visited Baghdad yesterday did not reveal the nature of the talks.

He stressed that "the salaries of January will be delayed due to the lack of arrival of the budget until this time, and the need for the House ofRepresentatives for time to study it.”

 

So no budget again.  This really does not surprise me.  In January they will have another excuse then a vacation then an excuse then a vacation.

If I remember right, there are 328 Bicraqi Iraqi Parliamentarians most of which are inclined to stuff themselves with falafel in the cafeteria when Parliament is in session AND when they are not out avoiding Bicraqi Iraqi Parliament sessions up to, including, and past the greatest allotment of session absentees.

 

Some Bicraqi Iraqi Parliamentarians were given the token parochial discipline for NOT attending the minimum allotted Bicraqi Iraqi Parliamentary sessions.

 

Some political groups within the Bicraqi Iraqi Parliament are also known for boycotting Parliament sessions if they are faced with doing the right thing for the Bicraqi Iraqi Citizen.

 

Go Moola Nova!
