Al-Muttalabi told Al-Maalouma Agency, “The ministries’ projects differ from the governorate’s projects, which is considered a local administrative unit that has its direct needs from the municipal directorates spread throughout the regions.”

He added, "Each municipality affiliated with the governorate has its own projects, needs, and plan, and they are presented to the advisory and engineering body in the governorate to be studied and drawn up. Its plan is sent to the Ministries of Planning and Finance, where the sent plan includes realistic solutions for the area in question, while the ministry does not look at such matters, but rather works." According to a federal strategic plan.

He stated, "It is a mistake for the budget to be directed to the ministries and the governorates and their projects and service plans are ignored. In addition, it is considered a constitutional flaw, as the projects must be primarily local, with the exception of security."  LINK
