On Tuesday, the appeal that was made by MP Raed Al-Maliki against Parliamentary Resolution No. 64 of 2024 concerning the House of Representatives’ approval of the budget schedules.
Al-Maliki stated in a statement, “The appeal submitted against the parliamentary decision in its present form.”
He went on to say, “What is necessary for the appeal? Perhaps you mean that it should be submitted directly against the schedules; in either case, the appeal will be denied based on Article 22 of the internal regulations, which states that “non-governmental bodies, whether they are representatives of the people or citizens, are prohibited from appealing.”
He mentioned that, “at the same time, the court rejected the appeal submitted by the member of the Finance Committee (MP Mustafa Al-Karaawi) who challenged the schedules, and justified the response by saying that he had no interest in the appeal,” and that “at the same time, the court rejected the appeal.”
“It was expected that the appeals would be rejected because the court would give priority to what it considers to be the supreme interest of the state by proceeding with the implementation of the budget schedules and would not set things back regardless of the existence of valid legal reasons for the appeal,” Al-Maliki continued. “The court would give priority to what it considers to be the supreme interest of the state.”
