And he indicated that "the 2021 budget law is ready for the purpose of sending it to the Presidency of the Iraqi Council of Representatives, for the purpose of determining the date of the voting session on the law, but the delay in not sending it to the Presidency of Parliament and determining the voting session is because the paragraph on the Kurdistan region’s share of the budget has not been resolved. So far it has not been decided." Despite the continuous meetings and meetings with the delegation of the region. "



He added, "The recent statements of the Prime Minister of Kurdistan Regional Government, Masrour Barzani, have become a stumbling block and obstruct the dialogues and meetings, and these statements have stopped the discussions, dialogues and meetings in order to reach a decisive agreement for the region's share in the budget."
