No they haven't posted yet. The Gazette for 11-19 should've been posted this morning around 10:00-11:00. Not sure whether to read anything into it or not. But as I said this is only the 7th time in a year they haven't published the Sunday news. They very well could still publish it but they are a tad bit off schedule. Just something that makes you go HMMMM.

Economic : the general budget of the Lower legal (1)



Lawyer Tariq war
The presidency of the Council of Ministers on 2006 / 8 / 18, took the preparation of the new budget for the coming 2007 and the Constitution stipulates in Article (62) to (the Council of Ministers approved a draft law for the general budget and the final account to the House of Representatives and the House of Representatives conduct transfers between sections and chapters of the general budget and reducing the overall amount of has when necessary to propose to the Cabinet to increase the total amount of expenditures)

Article (57) of the Constitution (the House of Representatives session of the annual legislative one in two to eight months. It does not end separation, which was convened by the public budget only after approval) During article (39) of the rules of procedure of the House of Representatives (the Finance Committee) examination of the budget bill and express opinion before the presentation to the Council of the vote, followed by transfers between doors and the restrictions and conditions contained in the article (62) quarters. The budget is a more accurate term than the term (budget) is a common appreciation for the expenditures of all state bodies of salaries and wages and other revenues and disbursements for the period of time the State has identified future date. They include the financial matters of the three authorities in the State, including the House of Representatives, which funds the public treasury. After the House approved the budget become law then all the legal rules which set out the government's expenditure and revenues so that all authorities, ministries and government departments provisions contained in the law when the spending of public money and will be reported vocabulary of the law and tables salt Ka later by the often by the Ministry of Finance to prepare a draft budget, but that does not preclude prepared by the committee formed by the Council of Ministers has introduced some special Ministry of the public budget as is the case in Egypt, where the administrative management by the Ministry of the Treasury to prepare a draft budget, usually by the Ministry of Finance Astamz Age view ministries and bodies to indicate their proposals and estimates of the response to the extent appropriate in the case of exaggeration in the demands and expenses, according to guidance and estimates of the Council of Ministers and is contrary to the decision in some constitutions to restrict the authority of Parliament.
So that the authority either to accept the entire project and the issuance of the law or reject the entire project, the Iraqi constitution grants the House the power switch and the reduction and the proposal to increase expenditure for that, we find that the English Parliament waived his right to increase the budget expenses for centuries, in order to achieve the House of how the government's implementation of Meaux Zana, the Constitution requires the final account, which estimate the real possibility and not as the budget income and expenditure account any previous year in 2006.
The budget bill published in the Official Gazette
If the general budget for the years prior to 2003 are not published in the Official Gazette (Journal of the facts Iraqi) on the theory that confuse Balancing the state budget and the Governor as the budget and spending of human Governor, please spend on what he likes and what he likes confined spending and this would be only Moore secrecy must be secretive to the people, so people do not know what are the amounts of revenue and expenditures and the disbursement of those is the exchange and the share ministries and departments, where she goes, more expenses. This was not the Iraqi people, the new legal regime, which adopted the principle of public access to all laws issued by the State and to create a kind of popular control of the actions of the government. Therefore, we find that article (30 / b) of the Iraqi State Administration Law for the transitional phase whose publication of the laws in the Official Gazette and that is what I meant Article (129) of the new Constitution is not surprising in the budget bill is out of the laws to be published in the Official Gazette and this means that the law must be able to a intercepted any citizen access to the law to read the Official Gazette and Gazette of Iraq. Therefore, the budget bill prepared by the interim government headed by Dr. Iyad Allawi, which includes budget in 2005 and then published in the Official Gazette in 3996 with its March 17, 2005, where the budget matter (the law) to 23 in 2005 and the 2006 budget prepared by the transitional government headed by Dr. Ibrahim Alga Frey, a copy of which was obtained by the approval of the National Assembly were elected one of the law in 2006 and published in the Official Gazette in 4016 with its February 2, 2006 and this is what is said about the new budget for 2007 after approval by the House will be published in the Official Gazette also law.
Brief 2006 budget
If we go back to the law of this budget, we find that as far as the amount of revenue the service (45) thousand billion dinars and an amount of (50) billion dinars thousand of expenditures allocated and the amount of one thousand five hundred billion dinars for the development of territories and the same amount for provinces with the observation of the population and depriving people of the governorate and the Ministry of Finance countless law Walser P expenditures of appropriations manufacturing and aid, foreign investment and capital projects for the Minister of Finance Ministers and heads of delegation of non-related to the Ministry of the power to a switch in budget allocations and the Finance Minister to use emergency reserve funds for the payment of emergency expenses and unexpected realized R. law authorize the competent minister and the heads of non-related to the Ministry of the power exchange Limits (500) million dinars to be exchange in accordance with appropriations approved in the budget and that the use of appropriations under the spending plan approved by the Minister of Finance and compliance provisions for the granting of law and the Minister of Finance??? Acheh increase allocations to cover the cost of work done by some circles, the law requires the adoption of contributions from donors presented to the Cabinet to seek the approval of the legislative authority and the granting of law and the Minister of Finance the power to authorize Minister and translated Salary advances to current expenditures and the increase should not exceed 10% of the values of Construction and did not exceed 25% of capital projects and the law Cordstan share of about 17% of the total expenditure amounting to one billion dinars in 1800 to be added to this figure when her an increase in the budget and that the province is in recognition of the revenue expected during 2006 and provide the Ministry of Finance and Law really n restrict all revenue departments funded centrally final income for the public treasury.
