Questions on lost 44 trillion Iraqi dinars – Ahrar MP

BAGHDAD / IraqiNews.com: A Member of the Parliamentary Financial Commission Majda Timimi expressed her concern for the absence of non-spent 44 trillion Iraqi dinars during 2007-2010. She added that “important financial data are absent that led the government not to submit the final statements till now. MP Timimi, of Ahrar bloc, said, in a special statement to IraqiNews.com, “according to my information there was a surplus in the budget with 44 trillion Iraqi dinars, namely, there is about 11 trillion dinars surplus each year. She added that a letter was sent to the finance minister to point out the surpluses from 2007 till now. Timimi disclosed that there are amounts were destroyed in Anbar province due to a fire incident and another figure of a governor who received great sum of money from the Americans in 2004, but he is dead now. Criticism was mounted in the Parliament against the government for not submitting final financial statements for the last years, but the government said that there “problems unsolved during the premiership of Iyad Alawi in 2004-2005″. Timimi questioned the real quantities of exported oil because there are no gauges to count the quantities, which are more greater than recorded. Iraqi oil ministry announced during the last two years that it put the oil gauges at sea vent in the southern part of the country.
