On Tuesday, the Parliamentary Finance Committee confirmed that the investigation committee is continuing its investigation into the circumstances surrounding the tampering with the budget tables and the CD. Additionally, the committee noted that the government has begun working with the tables that the House of Representatives voted on.
Moeen Al-Kazemi, a member of the committee, stated in a statement to that effect, “The investigation committee formed by the parliamentary finance committee, which is related to tampering with the budget tables sent by the government to parliament and which were voted on, is still ongoing.” He also mentioned that “the investigation was conducted with the Secretary-General of the Council of Representatives and the Director of the Office of the Speaker of the Council of Representatives.”
He went on to say that “The government has started working with the schedules voted on by the House of Representatives, not those sent by the House,” and that this was the conclusion.
In a previous statement to Al-Maalouma, economic expert Basem Anton said that tampering with the budget tables is dangerous because final accounts have not been submitted. Information indicates that there is a difference of more than 10 trillion added to the original budget of 211 trillion dinars.
