Saniora: Electricity Draft Law is a Victory for the Lebanese
The head of the Mustaqbal bloc MP Fouad Saniora stated on Thursday that parliament’s approval of the electricity draft law is a “victory” for the Lebanese.
He said after the parliamentary session: “The agreement refuted all arguments that one political camp supports electricity in Lebanon and another opposes it.”
“It is a victory for the Lebanese because we wanted the law to be transparent and for it to benefit from loans from Arab funds,” he added.
“The Energy Ministry and cabinet need to clarify several issues in the law in the upcoming days and weeks,” Saniora noted.
Parliament had approved on Thursday the joint parliamentary committees’ version of the contentious electricity draft law.
