Has the oil and gas law reached the House of Representatives?
Information/private… Today, a member of the House of Representatives, Jassim Al-Alawi, revealed the fact that the oil and gas law has reached the House of Representatives in preparation for its approval in the upcoming sessions, while he confirmed that the law is still in the corridors of the government and the Council of Ministers until now.
Al-Moussawi said, in an interview with the Maalouma Agency, that “the law has not yet been sent by the government in order to complete the addition of some new paragraphs and articles,” noting that “we expect the law to be pushed forward by the Council of Ministers during the coming period.”
He continued, “Sending the law and approving it in the House of Representatives represents a cry to implement justice, legal and constitutional provisions, and distribute the country’s wealth equally,” noting that “the law is still in the corridors of the government and the Council of Ministers until now.”
Former Member of Parliament, Jassem Muhammad Jaafar, had confirmed in an interview with the Al-Ma’louma Agency, that “the first objection was against the paragraph of the National Marketing Company (SOMO)’s control over the operations of extracting, exporting, and selling oil and gas,” noting that “all the articles to which the parties object “Kurdism is not legal and constitutional, but in order to continue seizing the country’s resources.”
The Kurdish parties continue to obstruct the government in approving the oil and gas law, which a vote on within the corridors of Parliament has become a must, in order to end the violations and thefts carried out by the Kurdistan Regional Government in the oil smuggling file in isolation from the central government and the seizure of revenue funds in general.
