Wassit requests amendments to budget

WASSIT / IraqiNews.com: Wassit province wants to transfer funds between two of its budgets, from investments to regions development, the head of the Wassit Provincial Council said on Tuesday. “Wassit province’s budget of ID102 billion is disappointing,” Mahmoud Abdilridha told IraqiNews.com news agency. He said that the province’s budget should be reconsidered, because the allocated amount will not help achieve the province’s 5-year development plan. Kut, the capital city of Wassit province, lies 180 km southeast of Baghdad. MH (P)/SR 1
