Samson: Al-Kazemi's most prominent advisor: We have an abundance of money without legal cover to spend it!
28th August, 2022
Adviser to the Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, Haitham al-Jubouri, confirmed today, Sunday, that the government has an abundance of money without the ability to invest it because it is not classified by law.
Al-Jubouri said in an interview with (Baghdad Today), that "there is an abundance of money with the government, but it cannot invest it."
He added that "that abundance did not enter the paragraphs of the Food Security Law, as well as the Federal Court's decision is clear on the issue of not sending any bill through the caretaker government, and this is what prevented us from classifying this abundance legally." LINK

A further 270 people were wounded during the escalating tension in the Iraqi capital on Monday. An NRT reporter said the sound of gunfire was heard and tear gas was being used in an attempt to control the protests.
Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi has given orders prohibiting all security, military and other armed parties from firing at protestors, Iraqi state media said.
Protests that have been ongoing in the Iraqi capital since the end of July intensified on Monday after the leader of the Sadrist Movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, announced he was withdrawing from politics.
