Shafaq News/ Hussein Mounes, a member of the Iraqi Parliament's Finance Committee, ruled out on Saturday the government's submission of the federal budget schedules, while reviewing the main reasons for this move.

"There are several reasons for the government's exclusion from sending the federal budget schedules to parliament, most notably the financial deficit, unstable financial revenues, the lack of a real economic vision, and the approaching date of the legislative elections," Mounes told Shafaq News Agency. 

He added, "The large deficit in the budget law amounts to 80 trillion dinars, which puts the government in a difficult position due to the lack of a real economic vision for completing the budget tables and submitting them to Parliament." 

Parliamentary Finance Committee member Moeen Al-Kadhimi previously indicated that the budget schedules would likely reach parliament in early July.

Al-Kadhimi told Shafaq News Agency at the time that the Ministry of Finance had completed its observations on the budget law's schedules and submitted them to the Council of Ministers to express the government's opinion on the nature of the budget and the total amount compared to last year, in light of the decline in revenues achieved during the current year .

Al-Kadhimi explained that the Ministry of Finance is preparing the final schedules for the budget law after receiving the government's response to the submitted comments. He noted that the draft 2025 budget law is expected to be referred to the House of Representatives early next month after its approval by the Council of Ministers .

The delay in approving the 2025 federal budget in Iraq threatens financial stability, service and development projects, the disbursement of salaries and benefits, and other repercussions that directly impact the daily lives of Iraqi families, according to observers .

Observers believe the budget has become a "political tool" during election seasons, used as a means of pressure and bargaining between blocs, without regard for the impact of these procrastinations, which have continued for more than half a year .

Legal experts also believe that delaying the disbursement of financial allocations stipulated in the budget law constitutes a form of administrative corruption and opens the way for lawsuits to be filed against entities obstructing the implementation of the law .

{Politics: Al Furat News} Jamal Koujar, a member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, confirmed that the failure to hold the emergency session of Parliament was due to it coinciding with the legislative recess, which led to the absence of a quorum due to the presence of most of the MPs outside the country.

Koger told Al Furat News: "The quorum problem is not limited to the current holiday, but rather the parliament has faced difficulties in securing a quorum even during official working hours, which reflects a state of ongoing parliamentary paralysis."

He pointed out that "Parliament is expected to resume its activities after the legislative recess ends on July 9th."
 
Kocher expressed his hope that the 2025 budget schedules will be received after work resumes, enabling it to be passed in accordance with constitutional and legal frameworks.

These goat shaggers are an absurdity.

“Observers believe the budget has become a "political tool" during election seasons, used as a means of pressure and bargaining between blocs, without regard for the impact of these procrastinations, which have continued for more than half a year”

 

The whole country has to pay the price of these procrastination.

 

I feel sorry for the Iraqi people.

Maliki’s people of course attempting to hold up anything positive Al-Sudani is trying to do for the country.  Don’t worry.  This nonsense won’t last long since to bombing of nuclear sites in Iran which should send a clear message to Malijerk.

NAh Malikiarky has to save face so he will just chang his potato head to wear a cowboy hat and all is well in his world.
