Important Laws Are Stuck In Parliament Because Of Their Preoccupation With Election Preparations

Ghadeer Al-Tamimi95 2021-06-08   The House of Representatives fails for the third time to hold a regular session to discuss several laws on the agenda of its sessions due to the lack of a quorum. The other did not attend for purposes related to political agreements, especially since this period includes changing ministers and interrogations.

Most of the representatives who attend are from the blocs that do not have weight. Despite the prior announcement of holding parliament sessions, we see something surprising and a negative indicator of the performance of the legislative authority.

This reluctance and apparent absence cannot be justified. About attending the sessions under any justification, especially in light of the challenges that we live in the country, which require the House of Representatives to carry out its tasks in legislating laws and most of them are in the committees because of the importance they represent for the country and citizens, especially the Civil Service Law and the new salary scale related to it, which aspires to It has a wide range of employees to achieve justice and equality in the salaries of employees.

Unfortunately, the failure to hold Parliament sessions disrupted the oversight role of the Council, as it impeded the completion of the interrogation of senior officials despite the completion of the formal and objective interrogation procedures, in addition to the importance of the role of the Parliament committees in monitoring the disbursement of funds for the financial budget for this year 2021 Which is estimated at (130) trillion dinars,

and ensuring the work of the ministries and the integrity of their procedures in accordance with the legal frameworks and the non-exploitation of this budget and the money in it in an atmosphere of preparation for the upcoming elections, this sends a negative message to the Iraqis at the present time, especially since the political forces in the Council in Baghdad and the provinces are exercising Its role in mobilizing and urging citizens to participate in the elections and put forward its political programs, and at the same time, it is unable to attend parliament sessions to exercise its role in accordance with the constitution, knowing that the parliament has four months to convene before the election date, which is a full legislative term and a sufficient period to perform the tasksAt the level of legislation and oversight in light of the challenges we have mentioned.    http://burathanews.com/arabic/reports/393976
