Baghdad – WAA – Mohammed Al-Talibi
The Parliamentary Finance Committee announced, on Wednesday, ongoing moves regarding the salary scale, and while it indicated that the salary scale has nothing to do with the budget, it indicated that it will achieve justice.
The head of the committee, Atwan Al-Atwani, told the (INA): “The committee formed on the salary scale file was hosted to study what new paths and advantages it could achieve.”
He added, “We are confident that if this law is implemented, it will achieve justice,” indicating that “many of those included in the salary scale have their departments and ministries subject to the decisions of the Council of Ministers and do not need any legislative intervention to change the allocation of a department or ministry.”
He explained that “the salary scale has nothing to do with the budget and that the government has priorities and needs amounts that can cover these obligations.”
