Report: Cabinet Unlikely to Convene until Breakthrough Made in Trash File
Prime Minister Tammam Salam is unlikely to call cabinet to session any time soon due to his fear of its failure given the lack of progress made in resolving the garbage disposal crisis, reported al-Joumhouria newspaper Monday.
Sources from the premier told the daily: “Any cabinet session hinges on progress in the trash crisis.”
They stressed that Agriculture Minister Akram Shehayyeb is continuing his efforts to resolve the issue and he and a technical team are studying various proposal on exporting the waste.
They have so far reached the legal, financial, and technical aspects of the proposals, they revealed.
Once they complete their study, Salam will call cabinet to session, said the sources.
Lebanon was plunged in a garbage disposal crisis in July with the closure of the Naameh landfill and the failure to find an alternative for it.
