Berri Calls for Session for Joint Committees on April 28
House Speaker Nabih Berri called on Wednesday for a meeting for the joint parliamentary committees to be held on April 28 in order to discuss various projects that have been presented to them, reported MPs who attended the weekly Wednesday meeting.
They also reported that the Speaker seemed more optimistic regarding the formation of the new government, saying that Berri expects it to be formed after the Easter holiday.
On the construction violations on public property, Berri stressed the need to confront the violations, adding that this is the responsibility of all concerned security sides.
He urged them to exercise their duties without hesitation.
Addressing criticism against him that he has not properly handled the case of the accusations against Mustaqbal MP Jamal al-Jarrah, he said: “I don’t understand all this commotion. Jarrah visited me and the constitution and parliament’s internal system” are clear on how to handle such issues.
Last week, Syria accused Jarrah of funding a three-member terrorist in order to create unrest in the Arab state.
