Shafaq News/ The Economic Committee in The House of Representatives, announced on Thursday, that the House of Representatives decided to allocate its tomorrow session fully to discuss the budget, indicating that not sending the final accounts for previous years from 2011 by the government was one of the main reasons of the delay in approving the budget.

"The President of the House of Representatives responded to the request of the Economic Commission to allocate a hearing on Monday to discuss the entire budget." The parliamentary Committee of Economy and Investment member Abdul Hussein Abtan said to "Shafaq News".

"Not sending  the final accounts for previous years, including 2011, which accounts amounting to 95 trillion dinars makes it difficult to approve this year's budget without identifying the aspects of exchange of the previous budget."
