Iraqi government, parliament working together to pass bills
The pace of completion of pending legislation is quickening amid noticeable cooperation between the executive and legislative branches of the current government.
BAGHDAD — Iraq's government and parliament are cooperating to move legislation along, as all sides are aware that any weakness will negatively affect both parties.
A couple of weeks after the vote of confidence for Mohammed Shia al-Sudani’s government, the House of Representatives completed the readings of several bills, including the Federal Civil Service Draft Law, which aims to modernize the administrative system of the state.
The House also finished the first reading of a law to implement the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and other draft laws, including one on partnership between the public and private sectors. It also discussed the draft law of the National Authority for Nuclear, Radiological, Chemical and Biological Oversight.
On Nov. 21, Parliament was scheduled to discuss the Draft Cybercrime Law, the Draft Great Imam College Law and the draft law regulating wages for services in centrally funded state departments.
