Late Wednesday Night Tivon and MilitiaMan "The Ball Is In Motion" 6-8-2022

KTFA:

TIVON:  Dissolution of Parliament is looming for the upcoming 15th deadline to have one. Not only that the current government is going on a 30 day recess. Not only that you no current budget. So if Hakim Al-Zamili stated today that he will meet with the "Relevant Authorities" to distribute all the funds of the "Food Security Law" to departments, ministries, governates, and citizens as soon as possible.

How could he have the ability to do so if the GOI is 30 days out after the break to approve something that was voted on without them being seated?

The a House of Representative member stated that laws can be legislated with or without a seated government. Is a general budget a law? But what did Mazhar Saleh state in terms of active laws in Iraq? That there are only two right? Well tell me which one of the two was voted on today? Because if one requires a rate to function to be a proper budget. What would you call the Food Security Law if all the money in a budget was sent to the FSL?

Tivon cont…..From the article posted by Deepwoodz showing all the financial allocations in the FSL. How can Hakim Al-Zamili follow up with any authority to ensure money goes to those departments without a rate change to accommodate or accompany those distributions?

Guess what laws have access to oil & gold reserves along with the oil surplus? The FSL & Budget. Which one got approved today? Which would mean....nevermind.     IMO ~ Tivon

MilitiaMan:  That is a good question Tivon. We can look to what has been said. So, we see the sums (money) will be in the ministries and governorates as soon as they law is voted on.  That sounds like quickly to me.

Then there is the statement of the parliament adjourned until further notice. We know they have a session recess starting tomorrow for thirty days. But, they say until further notice adjourned.. That to me suggests a meeting may come at anytime a necessary item arises.

The needs of the citizens are a necessary.  The President is slated to be on the table in the next few days. That too would be a necessary if they want to avoid a dissolution of parliament within about a weeks time, per Sadr..

The Kurds have now put up Fouad Hussein as a new go to candidate for President. Sounds like he is well liked. The article suggests that they mentioned him yesterday.. I can not imagine he just popped into the picture.. Fairly sure he would have been floated all along or at least a portion of the proceeding 7 month blockage.  His track record supports he is well received by many foreign relations. 

So, the sums are to be in the accounts of the ministries and governorates, awaiting the mechanism for distribution.

That mechanism imo is a new international exchange rate, a needed item for distribution.

Could that distribution be prior to the next voting session in a few days, or has that voting session already happened and possibly today, just untold to us yet?   We don't know.

If they are to expose the rate prior to seating, as the present PM Kahdimi is in power now and he has the same powers to address the citizens needs today, is it in the realm of possibilities?  We don't fully know, yet. 

The main take away is they voted on teh FSL and passed it and they apparently stated they were to place sums into accounts awaiting a mechanism to distribute amounts allocated once passed.

Having the President seated may be all that is needed for that too,  as it would show they have 2/3rds majority and Sadr has easy 50% +1 in the bag in the end.. He wants no procrastination.

 Regardless, I agree that the ball is in motion and nothing is stopping it.. Imo.. Looking forward to the next move.. ~ MM

The Iraqi parliament votes on the law on emergency support for food security in general

8th June, 2022

The Iraqi parliament voted, on Wednesday evening, on the law on emergency support for food security in general.

A parliamentary source told Shafaq News Agency that the House of Representatives voted in its session, which was held this evening, in the presence of 273 deputies and the chairmanship of Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi, on the law on emergency support for food security in general, indicating that the parliament adjourned its session after voting to further notice.

For his part, the First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Hakim Al-Zamili, considered the vote on the "Food Security" law a victory for the rights of the poor, stressing, "We will follow up on the mechanism for disbursing the amounts allocated in it." LINK

A source confirms that the name of Fouad Hussein has been proposed as the consensus President of the Republilc for the Democratic Party

7th June, 2022

Tuesday, a high-ranking political source revealed that the crisis of the presidential candidate has ended, after the current Foreign Minister, Fouad Hussein, proposed a consensus candidate for the Kurdistan Democratic Party for the presidency.

In an interview with the National News Center, a source said that the opponent of the Kurdistan Democratic Party's assumption of the presidency was the Shiite coordination framework, but now he admitted that he took the wrong path by supporting the candidate of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, Barham Salih, on whom they had prior comments, but they supported him. Because his party tends to the eastern neighbor, as do most of the leaders of the framework.”

He added, "The framework has changed its direction now, after the name of Fouad Hussein was proposed as a candidate for the presidency, and described his candidacy as the safest and best option, especially after he achieved outstanding successes in the foreign file, during his tenure as Minister of Foreign Affairs.

He explained that "Fouad Hussein enjoys good relations with the various political blocs, and he has experience in managing external and internal files, so he will not find any obstacle in front of him as he walks confidently towards the Sinbad presidential palace. The source indicated that “the next few days, the date for the voting session on the President of the Republic will be set.”  LINK

Tivon:  Now that you brought this article to my attention this I can now picture why things may have been set up in a manner where the citizens can see who is working for them and who is not. Food Security Law is settled and now they are on the verge of picking a President of The Republic?

And the mechanism Hakim Al-Zamili refers to could be the same one The General Authority of Customs mentioned when reducing fraud at the currency auctions? I mean they did say the mechanism reduces fraud from goods exports/imports from land, air, and sea correct?

This program was announced as complete. Ministry of Finance also deals with this new mechanism. Also doesn't this same mechanism deal with balancing the exchange rates?

They stated the Director General of the Commission, Osama Hosam Jawdat, told the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that "the hard currency auction follows the monetary policy of the Central Bank to control the exchange rate," noting that "when someone makes a "Transfer Abroad", he must match this transfer with imports because he took the transfer at a price." The official exchange, not the one in the market.

I would think Hakim Al-Zamili would know something about this mechanism given it was just announced couple of days ago. Wouldn't the CBI be the proper authorities to be a provisional entity to oversee where or how these financial distributions should come about? (Article 95 June 5th Thread)

This mechanism Hakim talks about sounds really peculiar don't you think? Especially since we know oil contracts are settled. Along with AYSCUDA being ready. Monumental announcements have been made over the past seven days that will directly impact the citizens. Now the formation of the GOI is closing in in a few days? This week definitely isn't over by a long shot. People need to double down on certain articles and go read them a few times over. 

What a powerful week this is shaping up to be on multiple fronts as if this was all coordinated in advance in writing and everyone was given their scripts to play out.

Sadr has them on the ropes. I guess they really listened when he said no more procrastination. This is happening right of the heels of the vote on the FSL today. I read an article from someone who called this in on the political crisis ending in a few days now look what pops up.   IMO
