The Iraqi parliament is suing the government over delayed budget schedules

6/23/2025

Member of Parliament Hadi Al-Salami revealed on Monday that a lawsuit has been filed against the federal government for not submitting the 2025 budget schedules to Parliament yet.

Al-Salami said in a video clip received by Shafaq News Agency, "The Ministry of Finance has not disbursed the salaries of the nursing home, which amount to 60,000 dinars per person per month," noting that "Parliament has filed a lawsuit against the Iraqi Council of Ministers and the Ministry of Finance due to corruption, misinterpretation, and negligence."

He added, "The government violated Article 62 of the Constitution, violating Financial Management Law No. 6 of 2019, and Budget Law No. 23 of 2023," noting that "these violations have negatively impacted citizens' lives."

Hussein Mounes, a member of the Iraqi parliament's Finance Committee, ruled out the government's submission of the federal budget schedules in an interview with Shafaq News Agency on Saturday, while reviewing the main reasons for this move.

Parliamentary Finance Committee member Moeen Al-Kadhimi previously suggested that the budget schedules could reach parliament in early July.
