The Kurdistan Blocs Coalition announced that Iraq and the Kurdistan Region's parliaments do not have right to question the region's President Massoud Barzani.
Bloc spokesman Muayad Taib said: "Iraq and the region's parliaments don’t have the right to question Barzani but it is possible to ask questions for the purpose of explanation only."

Yesterday a number of members of the House started collecting signatures for questioning Barzani in the Iraqi Parliament about a number of files, the most prominent of which are Exxon Mobil contracts with the Kurdistan Regional Government.

Taib added: "Interrogating the Kurdistan Region's president is not mentioned in the Iraqi constitution nor the enforced laws in the region.

"The Iraqi Parliament is not even able to question a minister or director general in the region."

The collection of signatures to interrogate Barzani falls within the media campaign aimed against him, stressed Taib.
