Parliamentary Calls to Include Staff Promotions, Farmer Dues in 2027 Budget

Parliamentary members on Thursday urged incorporating employee promotions and farmer entitlements into the 2027 general budget, also calling for resolution on voting for independent body heads. Lawmakers stressed addressing promotions and allowances for fair treatment, emphasizing their inclusion in the forthcoming budget. Demands included equal treatment for Nineveh farmers (300 kg/dunam delivery) as other governorates, and disbursing farmers' 2025 season dues. Parliamentarians underscored considering all provinces' needs, affirming the Council of Representatives must vote on independent body heads to prevent prolonged management without formal resolution.
