Accumulated Since 2011.. Basra Sends An Invitation To Baghdad Regarding 45 Trillion Dinars It Owes
Baghdad today – Basra Today, Tuesday (June 18, 2024), the head of the Services Committee in the Basra Governorate Council, Imad Al-Mutawri, revealed that there are large sums of money owed by the federal government to Basra Governorate, indicating that for 13 years after 2011, the Ministry of Finance was late in disbursing the full allocations to the governorate.
Al-Mutawri told “Baghdad Today” that “Basra has ambitious service plans, and although the funds allocated to it in the 2024 budget do not match the size of the need to implement important and large projects, the governorate is asking Baghdad for an amount amounting to 45 trillion, which has been owed by the government since 2011.”
He added, "The Ministry of Finance must spend these amounts for the purpose of completing ongoing projects or implementing new projects for the current year."
It is noteworthy that the House of Representatives voted to allocate an amount exceeding 850 billion dinars to Basra Governorate in the 2024 budget, which led to a series of local and federal objections to these allocations.
It is worth noting that the Iraqi Parliament voted on Monday (June 3, 2024) on the schedules of the Federal General Budget Law No. 2024.
A statement by the Council's Media Department, received by "Baghdad Today", stated that "the House of Representatives voted on the schedules of the Federal General Budget Law No. 2024 amended 13 for the year and its annexes, Schedules (A/B/C/D/E and F)." LINK
