Carried the Babil province, on Friday, the central government responsible for failing to complete projects because of the mechanism by which it adopts in the allocation of funds, as pointed out that this leads to the denial of entitlement to maintain, as happened in previous years.
The governor of Babylon, Mohammed Ali al-Masoudi in an interview for "Alsumaria News", "The central government has not changed is the mechanism by which the distribution of projects and allocations," noting that "it led to the failure of local government in the implementation of infrastructure projects in the province."
Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki presided over the end of this week, a regular meeting of the Coordinating Body to discuss the top among other topics, including the mechanism of the distribution of projects and allocations.
Masoudi said that "the Ministry of Electricity allocated in previous years $ 36 billion Iraqi dinars for the development of the reality of power in Babylon, but the amount was spent for the development of Musayyib station serving the national grid in the whole of Iraq and not the province of Babylon."
It was the province of Babylon announced earlier in the presence of injustice in the financial allocations for the province because of the mechanisms used by the central government, noting that the need to maintain infrastructure has been included in the project plan but not implemented due to these mechanisms.
And complains of many local governments in the provinces of the delayed payment of dues to finance projects and calls for the Ministry of Finance acceleration in the exchange rate mechanism budgets, including the province of Basra, which confirmed, on Thursday, it will be a few days after the end of the month of Ramadan, the organization of open-ended sit in protest at the failure to pay the Ministry of Finance budget of the province, noting that the local government in Basra are almost unable to provide services because of the monopoly of central government powers.
And you need all the Iraqi cities to achieve the completion of large projects in the areas of electricity, health, education, sanitation and safe drinking water, as well as the need for infrastructure projects, the other, after long years of wars and sanctions, which Iraq has passed through since the early eighties of the last century.
And increased demands to improve practice in the country after the fall of the former regime in 2003 and rising oil prices in the global market, which achieved a significant increase in financial revenues, but that is not accompanied, according to observers, a significant development since the last eight years, which led to the organization of demonstrations continued in many provinces and especially in the capital Baghdad, to demand accountability for the service degradation and rampant unemployment and the spread of financial and administrative corruption.
