The House of Representatives member Mehdi al-Hafez, "after that we have seen from the large demonstrations and the positions of religious authority memorable It must stress that Iraq can not stay behind but must be stepping step forward concerning the lives of people and the provision of services and an end to corruption, "noting that all this" forces us to stop in earnest to find a reasonable solution to the current crisis; it imposes a national duty to take over the Prime Minister declare a state of emergency in the country and the formation of an emergency government of specialists and professionals on the basis of loyalty to the homeland, away from any sectarian commitment or twelve altogether and move away from quotas of all kinds.
He said Hafiz said the emergency government carries out the functions of several, including the freezing of the Constitution, which came under much criticism, and the preparation of the document for a new constitutional, relying on a team of legal and political experts within one year, as well as disable the House of Representatives, and to prepare for elections representative within three years; the current Council is not able to provide something important after undergoing agree components, sectarian and ethnic domination.
He called Hafiz prime minister continue the announced reforms and expansion in all areas and to ensure that the fight against corruption and waste of public money and the provision of services to the population .. and work to liberate the country from Daash and terrorist activities and to promote security and stability in the country, and seek to resolve the dilemma of the displaced and ensure their return safe to their homes, as well as democratic climate protection and the provision of guarantees respect for human rights and individual freedoms and the promotion of national tolerance and cohesion among groups and sections of the people.
He stressed Hafiz that the issue of salaries and wages is one of the issues of concern, revealing that the Coalition Provisional Authority asked in 2004 by the Ministry of Planning to create a project to determine the salaries, "and we were keen to develop a clear distribution points Income was proposed about a clear and explicit, asking, "How can we neglect to address the problem of salaries and wages which is no small order, because it represents the largest source of plundering the wealth of the country, due to poor payroll system; salaries are unreasonable in Iraq, there are those who receive a salary in the millions, and others paid 150 000 dinars. This issue needs to develop a vision and a clear and frank.
He pointed out that the government is facing a big challenge either to reconsider the foundations of the financial and monetary construction or keep the farce going on.
For his part, the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq on the Keywords, in his speech, said that "conditions are now very favorable to rebuild considering the financial system in Iraq, through the preparation of the state budget, "adding that" the budget naked reading and viewing on the analysis does not give us accurate indicators of the overall economic situation in the country, it leads to a lot of inaccurate analyzes on the subject of expenses and revenues, and even classified on the basis of operational and investment expenses is tab inaccurate marred many of the observations that give impressions and analysis is wrong.
He said: "It that when we are talking about oil being a supplier basic we have to go deeper figures related to this supplier, and that there be a clarification of these resources in terms of cost; When talking that the amount of resources is 80 or 90 or 50 billion dollars, must also mention how much is the net of resource revenue, "he said, adding that Iraq pay about $ 3.5 billion a month to the cost of production, while the size of the oil revenue does not exceed $ 4 billion a month, it means This net revenue is $ 0.5 billion, and this leads to the government bear more losses, talk about the resources must be output to be at a certain point of production.
He called for "the need for separation of civilian and military personnel to help us on the analysis of existing data, and the salary structure and wages for the military and security side differs from the civil counterpart, and merged together in the process of analysis could give us Mashrat and income data are inaccurate. This separation between the two as it would appear to us that one-third of government workers are from the military; the angel of defense and interior up to one million member. There are also 600 000 employees in the Kurdistan region, and these cover the salaries of the region's share taken originally from the state budget, and therefore may get to 1.4 million employees is the sum of existing staff in ministries and this figure is the one who should be focusing on to get to the correct analysis.
He stressed Keywords that he can not be a scenario for salaries is based on the exclusion of the proportion of staff position, but we must put a new philosophy of public office through certain targets based on the standards and principles of sound, including the economic feasibility of referral to retire, and how it is possible to make it attractive to employees.
He said "We Moving from the fact that a large slouch in the government body, we must put processors for that matter, and it must employ large numbers of staff to work in generating sectors of income such as customs and tax collections and other charges, it could be armies of people operate to collect budget resources by making use of these cadres at work.
so, the economic expert, Dr. Ahmed Alabreha analytical reading financial reality in Iraq starting point from which to determine the mechanisms and standards that can be adopted in the development of a new system for the salaries of state employees in the framework of macroeconomic salaries and wages, He explained that oil exports since 2003 to 2014 amounted to 624 billion dollars, denying the arrival of oil revenues and the size of a trillion dollars, as some spoke.
He pointed Alabreha to "the existence of the decline of massive to base production of non-oil because 99 percent of Iraq's exports are from oil," stressing "The annual expenditure of the government rate does not increase about 6 percent in order to maintain the sustainability."
He spoke Alabreha what he called the dilemma of government spending "This spending increase by a large, but always salaries increase faster than government spending; it is very difficult to reduce the salaries and the growth of government spending faster than the growth of economic revenue, Domestic output (GDP) in Iraq has risen since 1970 to 2014 by about 5 percent and exports of oil increased by 6 percent and that means deepening dependence on oil and these facts can not be overcome.
"Among Alabreha that" the proportion of the economically active population of about 26-28 percent, while in the world of up to 30 or 35 percent. The goal was to get to 30 percent in Iraq to strengthen the character of the productive and under that annual wage is US $ 8277 and monthly to $ 690, and the Iraqi dinar is economically wage consistent with the 2014 is 828 Data thousand dinars, but if we take into account the decline in 2015 occurred must the average wage is less than that.
"He explained that the salaries of employees amounted to 2015 (38.5) trillion dinars, and if we want to ensure social justice and link budget economic framework, the total salary will be 30 trillion dinars with a minimum of 400 000 dinars, if we take into account that the number of members exceeds 3 million employees. This number can not be manipulated.
