The hands of the emirate103 2020-11-19  Iyad the Emirate ||  ▪ The title is very clear and unambiguous.

The government of Mr. Mustafa Al-Kazemi, a veteran jurist, "even if his graduation rate is modest from a private evening college."

The details of this topic are not complicated or long and do not require research and contemplation, and I will write them without complicated sentences or twists and turns ..

The National Oil Company law, which was presented by the previous parliament and was challenged, and was answered by the Federal Court’s appeal. It was recently amended by the government of Mr. Al-Kazemi at the expense of the citizen’s share of oil that was originally approved in law.

It was decided that (10%) of the NOC's imports would go to four very important funds, related to:

Raise the company's capital.

And the reconstruction of oil-producing provinces.

And calculate the future of our most promising generations.

The most important of these funds is the allocation for "a share for every Iraqi citizen who receives it through a bank account annually."

10% was completely canceled, along with its four funds, by the federal government. No:

Funds for the reconstruction of oil-producing provinces.

Nor to raise the company's capital.  No concern for future generations.

There is no share for the "exhausted" citizen of the oil squandered between corruption and mismanagement http://burathanews.com/arabic/articles/380804
