Adviser to the caretaker prime minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, revealed, on Tuesday, that the Federal Supreme Court accepted 20 challenges to the 2021 budget law submitted by the federal government.

The system is divided into separate powers that check, balance, and constrain each other.”
He added, "Parliament has two functions: the first is to monitor the executive authority in the performance of the public policy drawn up by the constitution, and the second is to enact or legislate laws, in addition to being shared with the executive authority as one of the appointment powers for sovereign positions in the state."
And Saleh indicated that “sometimes a vote on a bill that the executive authority did not submit as a draft law to the House of Representatives takes place, which imposes a burden on the work of the executive authority without its knowledge or participation,” noting that “when legislating the federal general budget law, the task of the House of Representatives is limited to Under the constitution, with two clauses: reducing expenditures, and making transfers only, before legislation, and not adding clauses that indirectly increase the burdens of public spending and impede the work of the executive authority and generate legal conflict.
Saleh recalled what happened in the 2021 budget, where the government appealed about twenty paragraphs before the Federal Court and won the appeal, noting that “such examples embody a kind of overlap between the work of the authorities and are weaker than the principle and competencies of the separation of powers in democratic systems, which pushes the authority to dominate the authorities.” The other is without balance and outside jurisdiction,” and concluded by saying that “it is incompatible with the democratic construction of the state.”
