Deputy: The budget is ready for voting, and next Monday’s session will be decisive
Baghdad Today – Baghdad… Today, Wednesday, a member of Parliament, Asaad Al-Morshedy, confirmed that the House of Representatives session set for next Monday to put forward the budget bill for 2021 will be decisive, given that the only victim is the citizen from the delay in passing the budget.
Al-Morshidi said in an interview with (Baghdad Today), “The budget is ready for voting and the parliamentary finances have sent the bill to the Presidency in order to put it to vote next Monday.”
He added that “political differences between Baghdad and Erbil were behind the delay in approving the draft budget, and therefore it is inevitable to pass it in the next parliament session.”
And that “all economic projects are stalled in the country because of the delay in approving the budget, so the Iraqi citizen is the only one affected by what is happening,” stressing that “the dismissal will be said to Parliament regarding the passing of the budget.”
The Speaker of Parliament, Muhammad al-Halbousi, agreed to include the 2021 budget bill on the agenda of the next Monday’s session.
