{Local: Al Furat News} A member of the Parliamentary Integrity Committee, Ali Turki, explained, on Monday, that there are attempts to remove the House of Representatives from the monitoring and accountability process that takes place before the final accounts of the institutions.

Al-Turki said in an exclusive interview with {Euphrates News} that "the basis of the parliament's work is supervisory and legislative, and the oversight of it is on government institutions," noting that "there are attempts to remove the parliament from the monitoring and accountability process that takes place before the final accounts of the institutions."

He concluded by saying, "We have a food security law that needs oversight, especially with the speech of the Ministry of Finance yesterday, and there are parties trying to reach final accounts that are not monitored or audited." 

It is noteworthy that the financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, made it clear about the presentation of the final accounts of the current government that there are two main factors that have contributed to the failure to approve the final accounts on a regular basis 10 years ago.

Saleh said on June 30 that "the current government's presentation of the final accounts requires the submission of final accounts that extend from the year 2015-2020, taking into account that the year 2020 there is no general budget, which requires the submission of a draft law called the current budget, which is a legal expression of a final account and budget in At the same time, the revenues and expenditures are now realized.

Saleh said that "the oversight task of the House of Representatives in this regard will be a little arduous in following up the completion of the country's final accounts for the years 2013-2021, but it will certainly be fruitful after passing the final account for the fiscal year 2013 and enacting a budget law for the current situation for the year 2014 so that the government can refer the rest of the government accounts sequentially only previous years".
