Awwad calls on governorates to buy machinery and build workshops instead of relying on contractors

Iraq ·

Adi Awwad, head of the parliamentary finance committee, said in a statement that governorates should allocate upcoming budgets to buying specialised equipment and building workshops. He said this would keep infrastructure projects running without interruption.

Iraq's provinces carry out public infrastructure projects funded through the federal budget, and the parliament's finance committee oversees how budgets are allocated.
