A member of the parliamentary finance committee, Haitham al-Jubouri , confirmed Thursday that 50 percent of public-sector salaries are paid by state employees.

Jubouri said in a statement received, Alsumaria News, a copy of it, "50% of the salaries of the popular crowd paid from the amounts of deductions of state employees, which is out of their allocations in the budget and not an increase in allocation, as some spoke."

"This is very clear in the text of Article 33 of the Budget Act of 2017, which stated that the allocation of 60% of the 3%, which is deducted from the salaries of employees go to the crowd out of their allocations stipulated in the same budget, which supposedly To be borne by the treasury of the state like other bodies and institutions. "

"We also mentioned the additional text that the salaries of the elements of the crowd must be equalized by their counterparts in the Ministry of Defense based on the law of forming a popular crowd, but this article has not been implemented."

On July 18, 2017, the deputy chairman of the Popular Lobby, Abu Mahdi al-Mohandes, revealed that the budget appendix sent by the Council of Ministers to parliament did not include the amendment of the salaries of the crowd.
