 Parliamentary Finance: Baghdad will finance the salaries of the Kurdistan Region monthly under the decision of the Federal Court

Shafaq News / The Parliamentary Finance Committee clarified, on Saturday, the details of the decision of the Federal Supreme Court on the financing of the salaries of the employees of the Kurdistan Region.

“The decision of the Federal Supreme Court required the Ministry of Finance of the federal government to finance the salaries of employees in the Kurdistan Region, like their peers of employees in all Iraqi provinces,” the head of the parliamentary finance committee, Atwan Al-Atwani, told Shafaq News.

He added that “the decision is clear that any party that obstructs the implementation of any of these paragraphs will put itself in front of accountability and justice,” noting that “the goal of localizing salaries is to build a database and avoid job replication.”

Al-Atwani also pointed out that “the amount of allocations will be part of the region’s allocations, which is 12.67%, and what is left of it is to finance projects and the requirements of institutions in the region.”

He noted that “the Ministry of Finance will finance monthly the salaries of employees and retirees in the Kurdistan Region according to the decision of the Federal Court,” adding that “officials in the territorial government should react positively to the decision in order to fund the salaries of employees naturally.”

The Federal Supreme Court (the highest judicial authority in Iraq) decided on Wednesday, 21/2/2024, to oblige Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, Federal Prime Minister, and the President of the Kurdistan Regional Government Masroor Barzani, to settle the salaries of employees and workers in the public sector with federal banks.

The President of the Federal Court, Judge Jassim Mohammed Abboud Al-Amiri, read out the text of the ruling on the issue of the region’s salaries, where Al-Sudani and Masr Barzani were obliged to settle the salaries of all employees of government agencies in the center and the region in federal banks outside the Kurdistan region.

The court also decided to require the submission of the monthly budget to the territory’s employees to the Federal Ministry of Finance, with the obligation of the Council of Ministers of the region to hand over all oil and non-oil revenues to the federal government.

The ruling stressed that the decision to settle the salaries of the region’s employees is a fifical and binding decision.
