Baghdad today – Member of Parliamentary Finance Committee, MP Magda Al-Tamimi, spoke about a deficit of billions of dollars in the state budget rising every year since 2003, while revealing the proposal of “the Iraq Salvation Committee”.
Al-Tamimi said, during her talk about the program (shortest roads) presented by the media, Dr. Nabil Jassem, on Al Sharqiya News Channel: “We spent from 2003 to the end of 2019 a trillion (15 zero), 226 trillion and 631 billion dollars,” noting that “the oil and non-oil income reached a trillion And 24 billion dinars. ”
He added: “From the beginning of 2003 to the end of 2019 there is a deficit of approximately $ 70 billion.”
She explained: “We suffer from emotional and confusion and lack of planning in drawing and spending state budgets.”
And she added: “I spoke to President of the Republic Barham Salih that we need a committee called the Iraq Salvation Committee, which consists of a small team from the executive and legislative branches, and those who live inside the country work according to two tracks, the first is urgent and the second is medium and long-term.”
And she continued: “This committee must reconsider the salary scale, because there is a disparity in salaries between a ministry and a ministry, there must be justice in which salaries are equal between all and this proposed mechanism has been put forward in practice.”
And after 2003, laws were enacted on emotional backgrounds that created allocations that allowed dual salaries to exist, she added, adding: “It is impossible to imagine an employee with two or three salaries, and an employee and citizen who cannot find what he eats.”
She went on to say, “The graduates are thinking of the appointment and that behind him retired because of the lack of support from the private sector,” adding that “Iraq is able to overcome the crisis according to my vision three months by restoring the economic situation.”
And she saw that “the financial situation is bad in the country, but the solution is easy with the will and the decision-maker needs boldness and strength in applying the law, and a lot of decisions and reform laws were initiated and not implemented.”
He pointed out that “the doors of appointments recently opened without planning”, warning that “there is no database in some ministries, showing the number of those who were referred for retirement, for example the Ministry of Education does not have and 13,000 new employees were appointed without knowing the size of the number of those who left.”
And she added: “There is no accuracy indicating the number of people referred for retirement, there is a discrepancy between the numbers installed on paper and what is mathematically proven, there is no computing.”
She talked about “forgery that occurred in some appointment orders issued by the previous government,” noting that “we have a lot of money but it is not collected or received less money according to the law, we have a lot of money that must be collected and go to the state but it does not reach the treasury.”
She pointed out that “there is an agreement with the electricity distribution centers for some malls, and 50 thousand instead of one million dinars are received, for example, and this includes commercial shops as well.”
And he talked about the auction of selling currency in Iraq, and the currency auction said that his money goes to 4 destinations that are employees of the central bank, parties, merchants, terrorism and financing of terrorism was through the currency auction.
