Ngheimesh stated in an interview with the, “The law awaits the understandings of Baghdad and Erbil to legislate the oil and gas law under the dome of the House of Representatives.”
He went on to say, “Passing the oil and gas law in the House of Representatives requires political consensus, which is what is hindering voting on it until now.”
