His latest developments were clarified by the representative of the Ishraqa Kanon bloc, Muhammad Jassem Al-Khafaji, in a statement to Noon news agency, saying, "The proposed law is presented within the work of the Council, specifically in the Finance Committee, and it is not hidden from everyone the active role of the Iraqi judiciary in preventing an attempt - (what he described) - slipping into more constitutional and legal violations in the process of legislating laws, the latest of which is Federal Court Decision No. (21) which was issued before days, and he explained the description of the government for managing daily affairs and what are the tasks entrusted to it, including the lack of legislation or proposing laws, so the food security law submitted by the government was rejected.

As a result, the decision of the Finance Committee was to proceed with its legislation based on Article 60 of the Iraqi Constitution and Article (112) of the internal system of the House of Representatives, which It provides for the possibility of enacting laws by the competent committee, to avoid this constitutional violation, so it was submitted again to the Presidency of the House of Representatives and referred to the Legal Committee to express a legal opinion in order to proceed with its first reading in the House of Representatives and then vote on it.

He added, "It wasVoting on the decision in the Legal Committee is approval by the majority, but we proved in the vote that we do not agree with it, and that this law is also a violation within the same previous framework because it contains a financial aspect and a financial obligation for the government, which is contrary to the Constitution and the decision of the Constitutional Court and its decision No. (21) of 2015 to legislate laws

The parliament had a financial aspect, so the decision was to be presented to the government to obtain its approval, and this means that we did nothing because the government, by law and constitution, does not allow it to legislate, and it was read in the first reading in the House of Representatives, and the problem is that the law contains many things far from food security and providing the food basket for the citizen And it has percentages of spending on certain projects and giving the authority to the government for the purpose of borrowing, repaying debts and repaying loans. At the same time, the Federal Court made it clear with its decision that the issue of providing food, medicine and security is a routine matter among the government’s daily work in managing matters and it is obligatory in it, and the session will be next WednesdayIt is to vote on the law and we will try to make it within the constitutional frameworks. link
