Parliamentary Demands for a Comprehensive Reform Revolution to Address Salary Scale Imbalances and Financial Bleeding

Parliamentary circles have affirmed that the salary system in Iraq suffers from a deep structural flaw that requires radical and comprehensive solutions, noting a general consensus within the Parliament to support any government reforms in this regard. Representatives from the Parliament clarified in televised statements that the ongoing discussions do not target a specific group but encompass a thorough review of multiple files, including the salaries of Rafha detainees, dual-salary earners, the phenomenon of "ghost employees," and addressing the illegal acquisition of financial entitlements. This accumulated imbalance is attributed to political influences and electoral favoritism that prevailed in previous periods at the expense of social justice standards, negatively impacting broad segments of employees, especially those in lower job grades who suffer from low-income levels. Parliamentary sources stressed the necessity of launching a "reform revolution" through an integrated program that restores balance and fairness to all categories, pointing out that the significant disparity in salaries among employees of different ministries necessitates a fair restructuring of the salary scale. They emphasized that the responsibility of amending the salary scale falls directly on the executive branch, warning that delaying serious steps will lead to continued administrative and financial chaos, and calling for the adoption of an approach based on a unified standard that achieves social justice for all.
