Ala Talabani in an 'urgent' message to the presidencies: Implement the budget clauses and send the rights of Kurdistan employees

2021.05.16 - 15:47

 

  

Baghdad - People  

On Sunday, the MP for the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, Alla Talabani, called on the three presidencies in the federal government and the regional government to "bypass bureaucratic formulas and distribute the salaries of employees."  

  

 

  

Talabani said in a letter "People" received a copy of it (May 16, 2021), that "the continued deduction of this percentage from the salaries of the region’s employees is an unjustified case."  

She added that "the region’s authorities do not have a specific answer regarding the problem of organizing oil exports in accordance with what guarantees justice and rights for the citizens of Kurdistan’s share of Iraqi oil, and the rights of the federal state and the rest of the Iraqis in the region’s oil."  

  

Below is the text of the message:  

“Citizens in the Kurdistan region, like the rest of the Iraqis, were encouraged that the legislation of the Federal Budget Law would lead to the implementation of its provisions in a way that would reduce the burdens facing Iraqis in general, and citizens in the Kurdistan region in particular, and specifically employees.  

But what happened is that the region’s employees still deduct 21 percent of their salaries, which are deductions that are no longer justified in light of the federal authorities ’commitment to pay the region’s employees’ salaries, as part of their greater commitment to pay the region’s dues from the general budget, which we all voted on in The Iraqi Council of Representatives,  

The continued deduction of this percentage from the salaries of the region’s employees comes in an unjustified case, as the Iraqi national consensus has led to the settlement of the issue of the region’s share of the budget with what all parties have accepted, and thanks to the special perseverance and patience of the region’s deputy prime minister, Mr. Qubad Talabani, and his special status with the rest Iraqi officials.  

On the other hand, the statements of Mr. Asim Jihad, spokesman for the Federal Ministry of Oil, indicated that the region’s authorities have not yet delivered any quantities of oil or oil revenues according to the general budget, which is something that Dr. Gutiar Adel, the spokesperson for the region, could not answer objectively. Regrettably, he said, "He will respond to the statement of the Federal Oil Ministry spokesman as soon as possible regarding oil exports and the federal government's share of it.  

First of all, this means that the region’s authorities do not have a specific answer regarding the problem of organizing oil exports in accordance with what guarantees justice and rights for the citizens of Kurdistan’s share of Iraqi oil, and the rights of the federal state and the rest of the Iraqis in the region’s oil.  

It also means that the authorities in Erbil suffer from an office bureaucracy that is harmful to the supposed fraternal relations with the federal authorities in Baghdad and the rest of the Iraqi citizens. Meet their basic needs,  

A vital issue related to financial resources, especially oil revenues, which are the main source of employee salaries and social welfare, and peshmerga dues as they fight and face terrorism daily, which calls for a quick practical step-by-step of the formulas of repulsive bureaucratic correspondence,  

The authorities of the region in Erbil, especially the ministries of oil and finance, are required to provide quick answers to the reasons for the continued deduction of the salaries of employees in the region, as well as not to pay the prescribed amount of oil exports to the accounts of the Federal Ministry of Oil, and to resolve these forms away from slow and harmful correspondence.  

The Iraqi people, certainly including the region’s employees and the rest of the citizens, are tired of maneuvers and bureaucracy, and they want to enhance the spirit of trust, cooperation and fraternal solidarity, in order to achieve the region’s employees and social benefits receiving their full dues, by overcoming all office obstacles and the need to commit to providing the region’s share of export. Oil to the federal authorities ...  

We in the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan bloc in the Iraqi parliament believe in the need for parliament to complete its oversight role, after it fulfilled its legislative role in approving the general budget, by urging all concerned parties to implement the budget provisions in a way that relieves all citizens, including the masses of the Iraqi people. Kurdistan Region ...  

In the same context, we find one of the tasks of the Kurdistan Regional Parliament to follow up and question the authorities of the region about deductions from the entitlements of employees and the rest of the citizens, and to demand the implementation of the provisions of the budget law to remove everything that would disturb the positive relations between the federal government and the authorities of the region.  

This is part of the guarantees of the process of building Iraq's prosperous civil, democratic, federal state to provide security, stability and a decent life for all citizens.

Erbil (Kurdistan 24) - Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi said that his government did not send to the Kurdistan Region its share of the budget, but rather an "advance" to be deducted from it later according to the clearing system in the final accounts, and accused his opponents of spreading the opposite for electoral purposes.

In the middle of this month, the Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government, Masrour Barzani, announced that he had reached an agreement with Baghdad to send financial dues to the region with a "retroactive effect."

The Kurdistan Regional Government described the decision as an important turning point, but some of the Iraqi political blocs criticized Al-Kazemi's agreement to send what it considered a "balance."

However, Al-Kazemi said in an interview with the official Iraqi TV that the agreement with the Kurdistan Regional Government has nothing to do with the budget share.

He continued, "No budget was paid to the region... We paid an advance for the purpose of paying employees' salaries."

Al-Kazemi added that the financial advance paid to the region will be deducted from its share in the budget "after the Federal Financial Supervision Bureau and the Region's Bureau of Supervision will make an inventory of accounts through a clearing system and nothing more, and it will be cut through the final accounting process by the end of the year."

He pointed out that the allegations about paying a budget and not complying with the law are only "political attempts for electoral purposes to stir up the feelings of citizens."

Shafaq News/ The Kurdistan Democratic Party bloc described, on Thursday, statements made by parliamentarians about the disbursement of 200 billion Iraqi dinars to the Kurdistan Regional Government as a "media whirlwind", while confirming that the Federal Ministry of Finance has not released the amount so far.

 

Representative of the Kurdistan Democratic Party Mayada Al-Najjar told Shafaq News Agency, "Talking about disbursing 200 billion dinars to the Kurdistan Region is a media whirlwind," indicating that "the allocated amount is from the entitlement of employees in the region."

 

Al-Najjar added that "the politicians took advantage of this issue within the electoral campaigns," noting that "the region's employees have the right to receive salaries just like their peers in the federal government."

 

And she indicated that "the amount of 200 billion dinars is part of the salaries of employees in the region," noting that the Ministry of Finance "has not disbursed any amounts allocated to the region despite the fact that Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi sent an official letter to the Finance regarding the payment of the region's dues."

 

She continued, saying that the Ministry of Finance "did not release the allocated amount, which is 200 billion dinars, although the Kurdistan region is committed to the budget law."

New information on sending 200 billion dinars to the Kurdistan region

 

A spokesman for the National Union bloc in the House of Representatives, Bakhtiar Shaways, revealed that the federal government wants to send 200 billion dinars in the form of an advance to the Kurdistan region. Shaways told Kurdish media that the federal government wants to send 200 billion dinars in the form of an advance to the Kurdistan Region, so when the decision reached the Federal Ministry of Finance, the Minister of Finance did not sign the decision on the pretext that it would be subject to legal accountability, and for this reason, the fate of sending 200 billion A dinar from Baghdad to the Kurdistan Region is not clear and specific. Shaways added that, according to the law, only the Minister of Finance can sign the money to be sent to the region. Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi had decided a few days ago to send 200 billion dinars to the Kurdistan Region, but the decision remained in the Federal Ministry of Finance, and the Minister of Finance is not ready to sign for sending the amount. The Iraqi governorates in the center and south are suffering from not sending the funds allocated in the budget to revive services, electricity and unemployment. 3 . finished
