Political analyst, Sabah Al-Ukaili, said today, Thursday, that the Kurdistan region continues to pose obstacles to the approval of the oil and gas law, while he stressed that the adoption of the law will prevent all disputes in the oil provinces, especially the Kurdistan region.

Al-Ugaili said, in an interview with the Maalouma Agency, that “the oil and gas law is a roadmap for distributing Iraq’s wealth equally throughout the governorates,” pointing out that “there are major differences that stand in the way of approving the oil and gas law between the central government and the Kurdistan region.”

He continued, “The region does not seek to facilitate the passage of the oil and gas law in order to continue to deal with it as a separate state from Iraq in many files,” noting that “Kurdistan does not want to pass the law because it will end all ongoing smuggling operations outside Iraq.”

Al-Ugaili stressed: “The Kurdish parties have not yet adhered to the decisions of the central government in order to impose the law on the issue of extracting and exporting oil and gas,” noting that “approving the law will prevent all disputes in the oil provinces, especially the Kurdistan region.”

A member of the House of Representatives, Jassim Al-Alawi, revealed in an interview with the “Information” Agency, the fact that the oil and gas law has reached the House of Representatives in preparation for its approval in the upcoming sessions, while he confirmed that the law is still in the corridors of the government and the Council of Ministers until now.

Former Member of Parliament, Jassem Muhammad Jaafar, had confirmed in an interview with the Al-Ma’louma Agency, that “the first objection was against the paragraph of the National Marketing Company (SOMO)’s control over the operations of extracting, exporting, and selling oil and gas,” noting that “all the articles to which the parties object Kurdish is not legal and constitutional, but in order to continue seizing the country’s resources.
