Baghdad (AIN) –MP, Mahma Khalil, of the Kurdistani Alliance, stated “Nominating head of the Financial Supervision Department, Abdul Basit Turki, to run the Central Bank of Iraq, against the interest of Iraq and intended decision due to the holiday of the parliament.”
He stated to All Iraq News Agency (AIN) “Such decision will send a negative message inside Iraq and in the international level,” noting that “Nominating Turki is not in the interest of Iraq.”
“Only the parliament is responsible for the CBI,” he pointed out, assuring that “This decision was taken due to the holiday of the parliament where the government had to wait for the parliament to resume its sessions.”
