Planning ministry spokesperson Abdul Zahra Al-Hindawi said the Iraqi Council of Ministers asked the Ministry of Justice to publish the content of the budget and delete some "ambiguous" articles in it.
Spokesperson for the Ministry of Justice Haidar al-Saadi revealed that the budget has not yet been published.
"Who knows, maybe the budget papers have not yet reached the ministry," Al-Saadi said.
The Iraqi Council of Representatives approved the 2012 budget in February following months of delay due to political disputes. The total budget is 117tr IQD ($100.5bn), with a deficit of 14.7tr IQD ($12.6bn).
