Shafaq News / The Deputy Governor of al-Anbar for Technical Affairs, Jassem Al-Asal, denied on Monday reports about reducing or stealing the governorate's funds in 2021's budget.

Al-Asal told Shafaq News agency, "reports circulating over social media about reducing or stealing the governorate's share from the state's general budget are inaccurate," indicating, "the governorates' budget in the general budget is two trillion Iraqi dinars and is divided among the governorates according to the population."
