The meeting also emphasized the activation of the parliamentary oversight role, and the need for all ministries and governorates to adhere to the spending mechanisms approved in the financial budget and not to use them in the electoral process, in a way that violates the principle of equal opportunities and indicates the exploitation of office and public money.
The meeting urged the ministerial committee concerned with the draft oil and gas law to complete its discussions with technicians in the Federal Ministry of Oil and the Ministry of Natural Resources in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, and to proceed with the maturation of the draft.
