Iraqi parliamentary circles are witnessing growing momentum to discuss the employee salaries file, amid calls for comprehensive reforms to address the deep flaws in the financial system. This includes issues of double salaries, ghost employees, and the significant disparities between
ministry salaries. Lawmakers emphasized that addressing this imbalance requires serious governmental will and the implementation of an integrated program based on social justice standards, free from political influences and favoritism. Experts warned against the continuation of the current disparity, stressing
the need to fairly compensate vulnerable groups of employees and restructure the salary scale to guarantee everyone's rights.
