Member of the Parliamentary Security and Defense Committee, Ali Al-Bandawi, confirmed that Parliament's sessions have been disrupted recently, particularly this month, due to political disagreements. He noted that some blocs had objections related to the Popular Mobilization Forces Law, which affected the parliament's agenda.

Al-Bandawi explained that "the delay in holding the sessions prompted a group of MPs to collect signatures demanding that they be held in order to complete the enactment of important laws," stressing that "most political blocs are moving towards resuming the sessions to read and vote on the laws, given their direct impact on citizens and on pushing the government towards implementing its program."

 

He pointed out that "there is significant parliamentary pressure on the government to send the budget schedules to parliament for a vote,"  noting that "the delay in approving the budget has caused the suspension of many development and service projects, which has negatively impacted the conditions of citizens." 

 

Al-Bandawi stressed the "need to expedite the approval of the budget to complete strategic projects and ensure the implementation of development plans."
