The Kurdistan Regional Government described the changes made by some members of the Parliamentary Finance Committee to the draft budget law as "unconstitutional," stressing that it will not abide by any other decision outside the scope of the agreement with the government of Prime Minister Muhammad al-Sudani.

The Kurdistan Regional Government stated in a statement, "The changes introduced by some members of the Finance Committee in the Iraqi Parliament in the draft general budget law on 5/25/2023 against the Kurdistan Region are unconstitutional."

It stressed, "These changes clearly contradict the agreement signed between the regional government and the federal government, as well as constitute a violation of the principles of the state administration government agreement and contradict the essence of the ministerial program that the House of Representatives voted on."

The KRG stressed that it would not accept "at all" with "this injustice and violation of the rights of the people of Kurdistan."

It added, "we will not abide by any other decision outside the scope of the agreement signed with the government of Muhammad al-Sudani."
