BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: An MP from the al-Ahrar (Liberal) bloc said on Monday that his bloc will launch an inquiry into the absence of 7 trillion Iraqi dinars from the 2009 budget.
“The amount was lost because of officials’ neglect and the administrative and financial corruption,” Abdulhussein Rissan said in a statement received by Aswat al-Iraq news agency.
“Economic problems will not be handled apropriately because of the absence of the final statements of 2011 and of previous years,” he explained.
“Al-Ahrar bloc still insists on Shiite Cleric’s Muqtada al-Sadr’s demand to not vote on the budget unless it includes a clause stipulating the allocation of a share of the oil is distributed among the Iraqi people,” he concluded.
On Saturday, Aswat al-Iraq reported that the head of the Financial Auditing Divan rejected endorsing and authenticating the final Iraqi budget's financial statements for the previous years.
