Tishwash: Sulaymaniyah…a paralyzed life “in work and money” and 20 additional departments will join the strike tomorrow – urgent
Today, Sunday (March 24, 2024), 21 government departments went on strike due to the delay in disbursing employees’ salaries in Kurdistan for the month of February.
The streets of Sulaymaniyah witnessed a complete absence of traffic police, causing problems at a number of major intersections, especially those without a traffic light.
Tomorrow, the strike will expand to include more than 40 districts in Sulaymaniyah, Halabja, Rania, Garmian, Qalaat Diza, Sayyid Sadiq, Darbandikhan and other areas.
Dana Zangana, a member of the Protest Committee in Sulaymaniyah, said in an interview with “Baghdad Today” that, “Tomorrow, educational staff, lecturers, and employees will demonstrate, and the strike will continue, and the demonstration may turn into an open sit-in.”
He added, “The demonstration aims to convey a message to the federal government that we do not want to settle our salaries except in federal banks exclusively, and we reject the My Account project affiliated with the regional government banks.”
The markets of Sulaymaniyah are witnessing an unprecedented recession and a complete absence of preparations to receive the blessed Eid al-Fitr, as the city was crowded with thousands of families who went to the markets on the nights of Ramadan to shop and prepare for the blessed holiday, due to the lack of financial liquidity among the driving segment of the economy in the market, who are the employees. link

CandyKisses: Adviser to the Prime Minister: Approving the 2024 budget schedules in the House of Representatives does not hinder their implementation
{Economic: Al-Furat News} The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, confirmed that the House of Representatives’ approval of the financial budget schedules for the year 2024 does not hinder their implementation.
Saleh told {Al-Furat News} agency, “The federal tripartite general budget issued pursuant to Law No. 13 of 2023 differs from the annual budgets that are subject to Financial Management Law No. 6 of 2019, amended when the approval of its legislation was delayed, as the Federal Financial Management Law stipulates in one of its paragraphs, that In the event of a delay in approving the general budget law for the new fiscal year, disbursement will be made at a rate of 1/12 of the actual ongoing or current expenditures for the previous year.”
He stated, “The federal tripartite general budget issued pursuant to Law No. 13 of 2023 differs from the annual budgets that are subject to Financial Management Law No. 6 of 2019 amended when the approval of its legislation is delayed, as the Federal Financial Management Law stipulates in one of its paragraphs that in the event of a delay in approving the budget law General expenditure for the new fiscal year shall be made at a rate of 1/12 of the actual ongoing or ongoing expenses for the previous year.
Saleh explained, “Approving the general budget law for three years does not provide legal conditioning for the implementation of the effective administration law as long as the general budget has been enacted according to the law for three years. Therefore, I do not see that the financial tables prepared for approval by the House of Representatives constitute an obstacle to the progress of implementing the plan.”
Finance for the year 2024, in its operational and investment parts, and stopping the wheel of public finance, especially its investment part linked to development and economic prosperity, awaiting the approval of the amended budget schedules approved by the executive authority until it is approved by the House of Representatives, as if the matter requires new legislation that delays the purpose of adopting the three-year budget and the investment in time it entails. “.
At the same time, he noted that “the tripartite budget experiment is a financial experiment taking place for the first time in our country. If its goal was and still is to stabilize the adoption and implementation of national development projects without delay related to the annual budget and its annual legislation, then the disruption of its implementation means a return to the annual budget square.”
Here, the fundamental difference must be made clear between implementing the budget that is enacted on an annual basis and the budget that is enacted on the basis of an average time frame, such as the tripartite general budget issued by Law 13 of 2023.”
