Parliamentary Finance Calls On The Government To Expedite Sending The 2024 Budget To Parliament

Economy  11:37 - 2024-03-17  The Parliamentary Finance Committee called on the government to expedite sending the budget to the House of Representatives, especially since its schedules have not undergone any change and its chapters are fixed, indicating that the delay is blamed on the government and thus reflects negatively on the performance of the ministries.

Committee member, Faisal Al-Naeli, said in a press interview: “The budget schedules for 2024 were long overdue, and it would have been better for them to reach the House of Representatives at the beginning of this year, especially since the items are fixed and remaining and no discussion or change has occurred to them, only the schedules that included financial allocations.” For the items that were confirmed in the 2023 budget.

He believed that "the delay is blamed on the government, and all ministries that depend on operating the budget are basically at a standstill." Al-Naili called on “the government to send all the budget schedules, complete and calculated accurately, so that they are not returned to the Council of Ministers and take time to change, delete, and add,” indicating that “the House of Representatives is ready to discuss the budget as soon as it arrives and complete the approval of its schedules.” https://kirkuktv.net/AR/Details/20039
