Member of the House of Representatives Falah Al-Khafaji announced today, Saturday, his rejection of imposing additional taxes or fees on citizens to address the financial deficit, calling for alternative measures that begin with combating corruption and reducing unnecessary government expenditures.
Al-Khafaji stated, in a statement followed by the News Video Agency, that the House of Representatives represents the people and should not move towards imposing taxes or fees that burden citizens, especially those with limited income and consumers.
He added that addressing the financial deficit requires limiting corruption and financial waste, as well as reducing unnecessary operational expenses in ministries and government institutions.
He emphasized the necessity of reviewing government spending items, including the purchase of cars, furniture, and travel allowances, and working to rationalize them instead of placing additional financial burdens on citizens.
