Govt. to employ 17,000 people in 2012
The number is less than the previous year, 25,000 employees.
The MPs agreed in recruiting new permanent employees the priority should be given to the contracted employees in the KRG.
Kurdistan Parliament is still debating the 2012 budget bill. The delay has led to public discontent.
The budget bill that is currently being worked on in the parliament is IQD 12.6 trillion (approximately USD 10 billion), out of which IQD 10.75 trillion goes for operating budget and less than IQD 4 trillion is left for investment, which leads to running a IQD 2 trillion deficit.
