Asadi: Budget endorsement depends on Maliki, Barzani, Nijaifi’s meeting

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) The independent MP, Hussein al-Asadi, called to hold meeting comprises the Premier, Nouri al-Maliki, the parliament Speaker, Osama al-Nijaifi, and the President of Kurdistan Region, Masoud Barzani.

In a press conference held at the parliament building, Asadi said “Maliki is responsible for the delay in endorsing the Budget law because he is the head of a big bloc and Barzani also holds the responsibility in this issue.”

“Mutahidon headed by Nijaifi also holds the responsibility over this issue because its MPs suspend their attendance from the parliament sessions,” calling for “Holding a meeting among the three to settle the pending issues regarding the budget and inform the MPs to endorse it.”
