Jumblat Informs Nasrallah his Stance from Electricity Draft Law is Technical
Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat has reportedly informed Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah that his stance from an electricity draft-law is purely technical and has no political motives.
Jumblat told Nasrallah’s assistant Hussein Khalil that his stance is aimed at improving the conditions of the implementation of the electricity project which is based on allocating $1.2 billion to Energy Minister Jebran Bassil to generate 700 Megawatts of electricity.
Khalil was carrying with him a message from Nasrallah asking Jumblat if his stance had any political motive.
Ministers loyal to Jumblat refused to allow Bassil to spend the $1.2 billion funds without any supervision. They suggested the formation of a technical committee.
The meeting between Jumblat and Khalil was held on Monday at his residence in Clemenceau. Speaker Nabil Berri’s political assistant Minister Ali Hassan Khalil, Hizbullah official Wafiq Safa and Social Affairs Minister Wael Abou Faour, who is loyal to Jumblat, also attended the talks.
