The parliamentary legal committee said the Iraqi Parliament's rejection of the supplementary budget is considered as a constitutional violation.
Member of the committee Mahmoud al-Hassan added: "The provision of the Iraqi constitution is keen on the need to approve the supplementary and general budget.

"Approval of budget is related to state public facilities, especially when this includes operating expenses, salaries and expenses related to the maintenance of some government projects, on top of the service ones.

"The House of Representatives has the right to conduct transfers and adjustments in some places of the budget in exchange with public spending but has no right by refusing because this leads to an imbalance in the state budget."

The Iraqi Parliament recently rejected the supplementary budget.
