Revealing a "trick" used by Barzani's party to localize salaries of Kurdistan employees

Information/Special.. 

Former MP Mohammed Ibrahim revealed today, Monday, that the Kurdistan Regional Government has been localizing the salaries of its employees in banks affiliated with the ruling Democratic Party, contrary to the Federal Court’s decision, which stipulated that the localization should be in federal government banks exclusively. 

Ibrahim said in an interview with Al-Maalouma Agency, "The Federal Court's decision to localize the salaries of the Kurdistan Region stipulated that the localization be in the federal government banks exclusively and not in any other banks, but political settlements led to an agreement to localize them in any bank subject to the conditions and supervision of the Central Bank," indicating that "these settlements were reached after the intransigence of the Kurdistan Democratic Party and pressure on the federal government." 

He added, "This matter is contrary to the decision of the Federal Court and the aspirations and visions of the employees of the Kurdistan Region," noting that "the employees of Sulaymaniyah and Halabja do not have conviction or confidence in the banks affiliated with the Kurdistan Democratic Party for political and technical reasons, as do many employees of Erbil." 

He pointed out that "there is talk about practicing some accounting operations in the party banks in Kurdistan so that the party officials can reap large profits by localizing the salaries of the region's employees in these banks," stressing that "the majority of employees believe that localizing in the federal government banks is the most correct and preferable." 

It is noteworthy that the Financial Supervision Bureau announced yesterday that the percentage of localizing salaries of Kurdistan Region employees exceeded 80 percent in banks, while political forces and Kurdish opposition parties confirm that the Kurdistan Democratic Party is exploiting the salaries file of the region's employees politically and electorally.
