He demanded local officials on several occasions to make their provinces, particularly Anbar, Salahaddin, and Diyala provinces, but other officials reject that idea and consider the part of a plan to divide Iraq along sectarian lines.
Maliki has vowed since late last year to expand the powers of the provinces, after weeks of claims forming regions controversial among Iraqis.
Maliki refused to project the regions at the present time and repeated in more than once to say that the Iraqis are not eligible for the regionalization of the country because of religious diversity.
Maliki said in a statement issued by his office the media that the amendments in the law of the provinces reduces the powers and limits their ability to work and achievement and the development of its provinces.
The majority of Iraqi provinces complain of lack of enjoyment of powers and overlapping of the appropriate local authorities work with the federal government and lack of access to entitlements under the Constitution, particularly the budget and grades.
The amendments give the provinces wide powers, but it does not include granting legislative power to councils to ensure there is no legislative chaos.
The amendments authorized the House of Representatives to exercise an oversight role on the provincial councils and governors and gives half its revenues from the provincial border points that are found within its borders.
According to the amendments announced by the media that the petro-dollar allocations of the inalienable rights of the provinces of the oil-producing and approved the allocation of the taxes due on the sale of real estate to local governments instead of the Ministry of Finance as well as to give the conservatives the rank of Minister.
The amendments included a proposal to reduce the number of members of boards of the province so that the seat sets per 150 thousand citizens instead of a seat for every 100 thousand.
The amendments - among other proposals - the members of the provincial grant for end of service and not the allocation of pensions for them.
Maliki said in his statement, "This is contrary to government policy aimed at strengthening the capacity of local governments and to increase self-reliance and manage their own affairs."
It is known that the law of the provincial non-performing province No. 21 of 2008 granting authority through legislation, local and wide but it has undermined the provinces things considered sovereign led to disagreements between the federal and provincial councils because of overlapping jurisdictions.
