{Baghdad: Al Furat News} The Parliamentary Services Committee announced the allocation of a trillion dinars to the governorate of Baghdad from the state's general budget.

 

Committee member Alaa Sukkar Al-Delfi said, in a press interview, that "the financial allocations in the budget for the governorates were distributed fairly according to the proportions of the population, and Baghdad got a trillion dinars, because its population is the largest of the rest of the provinces," indicating that "the committee will focus on the lagging and strategic projects that It has an entity on the ground and will work to complete the work on it. "
He added that "the committee, after approving the budget and distributing financial allocations to the governorates, will form sub-committees from its members to follow up the accurate disbursement of project funds, in order to complete the strategic projects for the provinces that are in their interest."
And he indicated that "the tasks of the committee are to follow up the ministries and local governments in the implementation of these strategic and delayed projects that affect the life of the citizen," noting that "the committee is determined to follow up and evaluate projects after 
completion."
Al-Delphi pointed out that "the committee prepares this budget different from its predecessors in terms of project completion, because the committee members will intensify supervision and follow-up projects, especially projects that aim to stabilize the citizen's life, such as water projects and infrastructure for the provinces."
He pointed out that, "through the work of the supervisory committee, it will follow up the projects that have ceased to exist and that have been neglected for years and led to a waste of public money in all governorates, especially the projects whose contracts were signed between 2005 to 2007 and the years that follow, and which have died out and need additional work to re-work in them. Therefore, the sub-committees of the Services Committee, with the participation of the concerned ministries, will prepare evaluations for these projects to follow up on them, and to see if they can be re-worked on again.

Harb sets out steps to prosecute investors after canceling their vacations

 2021-04-22 11:03

 

Shafaq News / The Iraqi law considered, on Thursday, Tariq Harb, that canceling investment licenses for delinquent projects is an insufficient step. Rather, their owners should be pursued to restore state lands, as well as the exemptions they benefited from.

 

Harb said in a statement received by Shafaq News, "The cancellation of investment licenses according to the decision taken by the Investment Authority in implementation of its authority according to the amended Investment Law No. 13 of 2006 is not enough, but rather the state lands that the investors acquired must be returned to state ownership."

 

He pointed out the need to "refer the investors who made the investment a legal cover for thefts to the judiciary in order to be judged and obligated to return the fees and taxes that they did not pay on the goods and commodities that they entered and sold in the market as long as they are exempted from fees and taxes as investors."

 

Harb added that, "according to the investment law, the investor is exempt from paying fees and taxes, which are estimated at hundreds of millions of dollars, because the investment law decided many exemptions and privileges for investors, including exempting investors from customs duties and taxes for the goods and goods they import."

 

He continued by saying, "How many people (wishing to be fils) benefited from the privileges of the investment law after being able to obtain an investment license from corrupt employees, and the first of which is to import goods and goods from abroad without paying a customs fee, and get the state's lands for free without paying a single penny, so it became A millionaire simply because corrupt officials took over granting him import licenses, and investors granted state land for free.

 

Harb added, "So, yes, the Investment Authority for its legal awakening and peace with the Prime Minister’s decision to implement the provisions of the Investment Law and return the stolen state funds under the guise of investment in a way that does not mean that the Investment Law is a law for theft of state funds."

 

Harb suggested to the Investment Authority "suspending the granting of investment licenses and suspending the granting of concessions and exemptions until this issue is resolved." 

 

The Iraqi Prime Minister, Mustafa Al-Kazemi, had directed yesterday, Wednesday, to cancel all permits for investment projects whose completion rate ranged between (0-35%) and the time period available for the implementation of the project had expired, and the number of projects to which this applies is 1128.

On Wednesday, the Parliamentary Economic Committee considered that what it described as the "bureaucracy and red tape" adopted by the state delayed the launch of many investment projects, while it praised the government's decision to cancel the licenses of "delayed projects."

Committee Chairman Ahmed Salim Al-Kinani said in a statement, "We commend the government’s decision to cancel delayed project licenses," adding that "the bureaucracy and red tape adopted by the state has delayed the launch of many investment projects."

 

 

Al-Kinani called for "a distinction between the real lagging investor who fulfilled all the legal conditions and did not initiate the investment project without a real excuse calling for delaying work, and between the investor who delayed the bureaucracy of administrative work in dealing with the investor, the launch of his project."

The head of the Parliamentary Economic and Investment Committee also called on the government and the Investment Authority to "pay attention to the decision to cancel project licenses, because they may arrange punitive money on the state that investors earn in the event that evidence is presented to the courts, that state departments are behind the delay in granting permits and fundamental approvals to start the project."
