A former deputy warns against auctions
Baghdad / Obelisk: The deputy in the ended parliamentary session, Ali Ghawi, revealed the cancellation of the privileges of officials in all executive, legislative and judicial authorities.
Ghawi told Al-Masala that during our fourth parliamentary session, a decision was taken (unanimously) to cancel the privileges of all officials in all executive, legislative and judicial authorities.
Ghawi indicated that there is no such thing as “improving the living conditions” of the deputies during the fourth session, even before the decision was taken to cancel the privileges.
He continued: There is no pension salary for any deputy unless he has a pension service according to the unified retirement law, noting: What was mentioned above is not necessary for auctions and delusion of the people with media achievements only.
The privileges of officials have always been one of the most important motivators in all the popular protests that Iraq has witnessed since 2003 until today.
And the Iraqis describe the privileges of the officials as a door that the current political class has separated to steal and waste people’s money.
Parliament had voted on a law abolishing the privileges of all state officials, starting from the position of director general to the president of the republic, including Law (12) of 2005, the most prominent of which was the abolition of the material grant as stated in the first paragraph of it, and the prohibition of allocating funds for the treatment of presidencies The three, determining the number of their cars, and stopping the payment of rent allowance to provincial representatives who own real estate in Baghdad.
The purpose of approving this law, according to the compelling reasons that came in it, is to reduce expenditures and cancel the privileges of state officials, in order to achieve social justice among the Iraqi people.
