BAGHDAD/ Aswat al-Iraq: Independent MP Kadhim al-Sayadi charged both Iraqiya and Kurdish blocs the responsibility of 2013 budget endorsement failure.

In a statement, copy received by Aswat al-Iraq, he added that "the parliament failed in voting of the proposal made by Iraqiya and Kurdish blocs to return the budget to the government", pointing that "the political differences and the demands of Iraqiya and the Kurds were the main obstacles before endorsing the federal budget".

The parliament failed today to vote on this question, when 85 members approved, out of 231 members.

The Cabinet approved the general budget with the amount of 138 trillion Iraqi dinars.
