Member of Al-Fateh - Parliament is on the verge of heated debates regarding the oil and gas lawInformation / Baghdad..
A member of the Al-Fateh Alliance, Ali Al-Zubaidi, stressed, on Thursday, the need for the oil and gas law to be well prepared before it is presented in parliament, in order to avoid political tensions that may occur and impede the legislation of the law under the dome of the House of Representatives.
Al-Zubaidi told Al-Maalouma, “Parliament may be on the verge of heated discussions regarding the oil and gas law, especially since there are some objections that often occur when trying to introduce the law.”
He added, “The aforementioned law has been postponed for a long time as a result of the escalation of political differences around it, which necessitates preparing the law correctly so that it is fair to all and makes the center the main engine for this law by distributing wealth to everyone without prejudice to any province, whether in the region or outside it.”
And he indicated that “some oil fields outside the borders of the region have been controlled during the period of the terrorist ISIS, as tanks move from them to be sold for the benefit of the region and the family of Massoud Barzani in particular.”
Al-Zubaidi pointed out, “This matter requires a solution to this problem through the oil and gas law, so that the distribution of wealth to everyone is normal.”
