Report: Hariri in Saudi Arabia to Tackle Saudi Oger File

Ex-Prime Minister MP Saad Hariri's visit to Saudi Arabia is reportedly confined to tackle the file of Saudi Oger Ltd. and to complete a deal to sell the company to Saudi Arabia where he is set to devote his efforts afterwards to political issues.

Sources in March said that delayed receipts from the government, whose oil revenues have dropped significantly in the past two years, left construction workers at several companies struggling while they wait for salaries.

Saudi Oger, the once-mighty construction giant led by Hariri, is among the affected companies.

It employs around 50,000 people of various nationalities, from managers to laborers.

Saudi Oger has built some of the most grandiose complexes in Riyadh, including the palatial Ritz-Carlton hotel.
