MP for the Al-Sadiqoun Bloc, Ahmed Al-Mousawi, affirmed, on Saturday, the existence of parliamentary efforts to conduct a transfer of funds to support the development of the Regions in the 2023 budget.
Al-Mousawi said in a press statement reported by the bloc's website: What was allocated in the 2023 budget for the development of the regions does not exceed 2.5 trillion ID, which represents a very small percentage that cannot cover the needs of the provinces, including Diyala, or at least finance ongoing projects.
He added that keeping what is allocated for the development of the regions within its current borders will put pressure on the provinces, which are in dire need of new projects and continuous funding, stressing the existence of parliamentary efforts that are currently being made in order to conduct a transfer of funds through the doors to support the development of the regions in the 2023 budget.
He pointed out: The increase in financial allocations for the governorates is extremely important, especially with the presence of projects that require direct ones, especially the ministerial ones, which have been lagging behind for years.
The provinces depend on the development of the regions as an annual budget to finance service projects in several areas.
