Head of the /Watan/ Alliance, MP Yasser Iskandar Witwit, explained the reasons for the delay in approving the general amnesty and personal status laws. Witwit said in a statement to the Iraqi National News Agency /NINA/: "The draft general amnesty law is not ready yet, due to the presence of many comments on it, with the addition and deletion of a number of paragraphs, according to the demands of the political blocs." He pointed out that: "The draft law amending personal status is ready for voting, and it was included in the agenda of the last parliament session, but the lack of a legal quorum prevented its approval." Witwit said: "The approval of the two draft laws depends on political consensus, and when this consensus is available, they will be approved, and this may happen in the upcoming parliament sessions."
