The "Two Powers" Continue Their Check Flap

The check flap is now a legal battle royale (in more than one way!).

There's also an account in AlQabas of debate earlier this Summer in the Majlis AlUmma on the Executive Branch's proposed 2009/2010 budget along with an extract of key comments by MPs - which gives some background flavor on the nature of the dispute and the various issues.   For those who don't read Arabic, the headline discusses secret payments and preferences in land (presumably the latter refers to allocation of lands).
