These guys have cried "Wolf" so many times in the past, that it is hard, if not impossible, to believe anything they say or print regarding passage of the budget.

1st the budget was to be voted on after Ramadan, then numerous dates in May, and then consistently "by the end of May" and now, by the end of the parliamentary session or is it by June 9th or is it next Tuesday or within the next 10 days ?

I honestly hope and pray that next Tuesday is true and accurate.

I agree Hotcurl, but just in case this is the 1st time they follow thru on something, when it's 1 PM Baghdad time what, time is it Central Standard Time? I'm dreaming that this time it's going to happen right down to the minute. I will have to say, I think this is the first time in my 17 years of dreaming, that they have narrowed it down to a time. But if I were betting, I'd say they're just shoveling the BS deeper. All we have is hope!

Don’t worry about things you can’t control. 
 

Seat back and relax. The budget will be voted sooner than later

Parliamentary legislative season {open} until approval of the budget

The first  06/05/2023

 

 

Baghdad: Shaima Rashid

 

Parliament kept its legislative session open "without a holiday" until the approval of the budget, which was halted due to political differences regarding its items. After the Finance Committee completed voting on most of its items, it collided with the region's refusal - specifically the Democratic Party - the mechanism for calculating the quantities of oil produced in the region and the party receiving those quantities or establishing them. As well as the relationship between the federal government and Erbil regarding the management of oil revenues from exports and other details included in the articles on the region in the budget (12-13-14), and the disputes led to the disruption of the activities of the Finance Committee, which was about to send the budget to Parliament to set a session and approve it. 

 

A member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Iman Abdel-Razzaq, said in an interview with “Al-Sabah”: “The legislative term remains open until the budget is approved, as the parliament is not obliged to take its recess after the ninth of the current month of June – when a month has passed since the extension of the legislative term – but rather waits until Approval of the budget. 

 

The committee member criticized the current reality of the budget discussions, and said: "So far, there have been no initiatives or agreements regarding the budget," expressing her regret for this situation, "as the entire people are waiting for this project," and noting that "the agreements now take place in (closed rooms, not In the Finance Committee, which completed the items of the budget, but disagreements over some articles that paralyzed the committee’s movement, and the budget became in the hands of the political blocs.

 

And she continued, "The legislative term has been extended in order to approve the budget law, and everything is currently suspended waiting for it, so there is no investment, appointments, or contracts due to political differences." News about the agreement between them, and we do not believe that the budget will be approved during the current week.
