Baghdad-INA
Parliamentary Finance Committee member, Moeen Al-Kadhimi, confirmed today, Wednesday, that there is satisfaction and optimism about the government program and the percentage of achievement achieved from it, indicating that the House of Representatives is in the process of approving the amendment of Article 12 of the Budget Law during the current legislative session.
Al-Kadhimi said in a statement to Al-Iraqiya News, followed by the Iraqi News Agency (INA): that "Prime Minister Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani discussed 4 axes with the legislative authority," explaining that "the first axis included the security situation in Syria and its repercussions on Iraq and the preparations of the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Interior and the Popular Mobilization Forces to secure the borders with Syria."
He added that "the Prime Minister presented the Iraqi political initiative to bring together the conflicting parties in Baghdad."
"The second axis that the Prime Minister raised in Parliament is amending Article 12 of the Budget Law, which concerns the resumption of oil exports from the Kurdistan Region at a rate of 400,000 barrels per day," noting that "the third axis addressed the ministerial amendment of 6 ministries," explaining that "the reasons for not implementing the amendment are the difference in views with the political blocs."
Al-Kadhimi added in his speech that "the fourth axis included the government program and the percentage of achievement it presented to meet the aspirations of citizens," stressing that "there is satisfaction, optimism and an improvement in conditions for the better."
Al-Kadhimi indicated that "the few days remaining in the life of the legislative session of Parliament can be used to ratify the budget law - Article 12 - amended by the government and submitted to Parliament," explaining that "the remaining draft laws will be postponed to the next legislative session due to the lack of time to discuss the controversial and disputed laws."
