{Baghdad: Al Furat News} The rapporteur of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Ahmed Al-Saffar, criticized the Ministry of Finance in the crisis of delayed payment of employees' salaries.

Al-Saffar told Al-Furat News Agency, "The Finance Ministry does not respond to us, is very secretive, does not have transparency, does not have a spokesman, and does not inform public opinion about the financial situation."

He added, "Afflicting salaries and delaying them in this critical situation is not right, and even this reduction does not fill the financial deficit in the budget."

He stressed, "It is possible to address the crisis by the state daring to break its silence and stand on its real revenues from ports, customs, taxes and even oil, and control unnecessary spending from the two wages and other expenditures that may be overridden by the crisis. As for whenever a financial crisis occurs, it turns to salaries and this is not true, especially In these current circumstances. "
