It Was Withdrawn A Year Ago And Is Surrounded By Mystery... 9 Important Projects In The Corridors Of Parliament Awaiting Legislation
Posted On01-09-2024 By Sotaliraq Baghdad/ Haider Hisham More than 400 days have passed since many important laws were withdrawn from within Parliament, during the Council of Ministers session, at a time when many are wondering about the fate of these laws, and what is the reason that prevents the government from sending them back to the House of Representatives again, to vote on and approve them, but “ “An important obstacle” identified by politicians that may prevent any law from being amended or legislated.
On November 15, 2022, the Council of Ministers, headed by Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani, held its regular session, and during the session, the Council authorized Al-Sudani to withdraw important laws from the House of Representatives, which is what Al-Sudani actually worked on, as he worked to withdraw nine draft laws.
According to a statement from the Prime Minister’s Office, received by Al-Mada, “The Council of Ministers decided to withdraw the draft law on addressing residential abuses, the draft law on the Reconstruction Council, the withdrawal of the list of ambassadors, in addition to withdrawing the draft law amending the companies law, as well as withdrawing the law on the first amendment to the National Oil Company law.”
The decision also included the withdrawal of the Flag Service Law, and the draft law on the second amendment to the Public Roads Law, and the last law was represented by the Federal Civil Service.”
The second deputy in the Strategic Planning and Federal Service Committee, Muhammad Al-Baldawi, revealed the fate of the laws that the Council of Ministers withdrew, while noting that The “main reason” for withdrawing these laws is that some of them are likely to be passed during the new legislative term.
Al-Baldawi said, in an interview with (Al-Mada), that “the Council of Ministers withdrew many important laws to reconsider and audit them and then re-send them,” adding: “There were many comments about them in principle to the Iraqi Council of Representatives, which prompted the government To withdraw it.”
He added, “The Council of Ministers, after withdrawing the laws, decided to hand them over to advisors, who are currently working on holding continuous meetings and meetings in order to complete them and mature them in order to advance them to the House of Representatives, even if they carry few notes, and after that it is possible to proceed inside the dome of Parliament.” “Without any political objections to it.”
The Vice Chairman of the Planning Committee explains, “The new legislative term may witness the passage of many laws in the House of Representatives.”
Important obstacle”
Political affairs researcher, Ziad Al-Arar, identified an “important obstacle” in amending and legislating laws in Iraq, while sending a message to the political forces.
Al-Arar mentioned, in an interview with (Al-Mada), that “there is a real obstacle that everyone collides with, which is (political consensus), which if it is not achieved regarding any file in Iraq, this file will not be amended, and will not see the light,” indicating that “the differences Quotas and political consensus are what manage the process of running the country in Iraq.”
He goes on to say: “Neither the Sudanese nor anyone else can amend or legislate what the government deems appropriate unless there is a political consensus because the political process was built on the basis of consensus,” pointing out that “this consensus took a new turn, so the Shiite forces now have a political consensus on A specific issue, then the Sunni forces, and the same is the case with the Kurdish forces, as there must be consensus in these houses, and then it goes into the public space.”
The political affairs researcher points out, “The scene has become complex, and we cannot blame the government for a specific failure to legislate and amend laws in light of political consensus.
This is a fact that we must speak publicly about so that the political forces know that the people know what is going on behind the scenes.”
At a time when many observers and followers of parliamentary affairs in Iraq consider that the current session is the least in terms of legislation and oversight, including interrogations, compared to previous sessions, there are those who defend this session in terms of the circumstances that accompanied it.
It is noteworthy that the new legislative term of the House of Representatives will begin today, Tuesday, January 9, while the Presidency of the House announced last Sunday that it will set the date for the next regular session to complete legislative and oversight duties, in addition to setting a session to elect the Speaker of Parliament.

Amnesty, Drugs, And The 2024 Budget Are The Most Prominent Laws Of The Next Legislative Term
Iraq 01/09/2024 Baghdad: Omar Abdul Latif The Legal Committee in the House of Representatives has placed the laws on general amnesty, narcotics and psychotropic substances, and amending the 2024 budget among its work priorities during the next legislative term.
Committee member Dara Hama Sikanyani explained to Al-Sabah that the committee had previously discussed the general amnesty law and sent it to the Presidency of the House of Representatives to include it on the agenda.
He added that the law must be amended in a manner commensurate with the crimes that have occurred in society and to prevent the release of terrorists whose hands are stained with the blood of Iraqis, stressing the need to include these groups in the penal code.
Sikanyani pointed out that the committee discussed many times the law on narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances because of the importance of this law in preventing the circulation of narcotic substances, which is considered the most dangerous scourge in the country, as it causes financial losses, destroys the energy of youth, and breaks up families socially.
He stressed that the next legislative term will witness an amendment to the 2024 budget, especially the financial entitlements of the Kurdistan region, due to the difficult circumstances its citizens are suffering due to the delay.
