{Local: Al Furat News} Legal expert Ali Al-Tamimi clarified, on Saturday, the draft law to address housing abuses on state lands

Al-Tamimi said in a statement received by {Euphrates News}, “The name of the law needs to be replaced. It would have been the titling of real estate infringed upon,” noting that “the law made a difference between those who created residential houses by transgressing on state lands or state departments before 12.31 of 2016 and after this date. The law applies to occupants before 2016 and does not include beyond, according to the national program from the Ministry of Planning, and this differentiation was not justified by the presence of the many slums after 2016 that need treatment.” 

He continued, "I do not see a justification and necessity to legislate this law at this difficult economically and politically, and it will greatly affect the poor and have a negative impact on the general conditions. The rent is according to similar prices, and it is difficult for real estate occupants to pay such amounts.” 

And he noted, “When the occupants of the property are not paid, the building is removed without compensation, and the first was to compensate the occupants with the value of the structures due to be removed, and it would have been preferable for this committee that follows up on requests for ownership under the chairmanship of a judge in each appeal area,” explaining that “Article 11 of this law says that the occupant The property after the expiry of the 25-year period and he pays the rent in it to own the property at its value at the time of ownership and calculate from its price the rent paid. 

He concluded by saying, according to the statement, "As for the properties occupied after 12.31 of the year 2016, this is applied to the Revolutionary Council Resolution 154, devoid of the penalty of imprisonment, including the necessity of eviction and removal of abuses, although the draft law canceled the above decision, but kept its procedures. The law gave the Council of Ministers to impose fines on violators. I don't know why the law didn't specify it." 

He explained, "These procedures are difficult for the occupants of the poor, especially for their occupants after 12.31 of the year 2016, and I see that he needs the second in his autopsy at this stage that needs to be postponed, and the law consists of 23 articles and it needs many details and to show us what about the state property of buildings And real estate rented at low prices.

Money and greed can make people quite stupid. We've seen that lesson played out in Iraq, a thousand times. Basically this investment is about watching for: "How long can the rich guys in Iraq be stupid with money and destroy themselves?" That's why this investment often feels like we are watching a 3 Stooges episode. Only less funny.

 

Don't let that happen to you in your life. Don't be a Stooge, just laugh at them. I was thinking about that, in my life. I'm an older guy. One of the benefits of being older is I've done many stupid things already in my life. I'm running out of time to do stupid things. And I realize it. Hopefully this will steer me and my boat on course, help me avoid rocks.

 

If you are young when you get a lot of money, be extra careful, as you will have a lot of time, to do stupid things. Money is nice. It gives you opportunity to do fun things, nice things, helpful things, make your life better. But money can turn you into an idiot. A thousand ways to be a fool. ⛵

He explained that "Secondly Article 13 stipulates that 7% of the insured worker's wages and allowances shall be deducted from the retirement fund, after it was 5%, while 13% of the insured's salary and allowances shall be deducted by the employer."

He believed that “Parliament should have reduced the deduction rates from workers’ salaries to 2% and employers to 10%, and that the rentier state bears the difference as it does with state employees, as it deducts 5% of the salary from them, while the state pays a percentage to the employees’ retirement fund. 12% of the employees' salaries.
