Report: Salam's Patience Wearing Thin on Garbage Crisis

W460

Prime Minister Tammam Salam's has demanded that a response over the proposed solution to the garbage disposal crisis be made in the upcoming days, reported al-Joumhouria newspaper on Wednesday.

His sources told the daily that his patience is wearing thin and that he “will not wait forever” for the issue to be resolved.

He made his concerns heard during a meeting he held on Tuesday with Speaker Nabih Berri ahead of the re-election of members of parliament's various committees.

The sources added that the meeting was “positive” with the two officials “tacking all issues without exception.”

Agriculture Minister Akram Shehayyeb has been leading efforts to resolve the garbage crisis that erupted with the closure of the Naameh landfill in July as politicians failed to find an alternative for it.

The crisis has led to the pile up of garbage on the streets throughout the country, raising fears of the environmental and health repercussions of the problem.

I dont understand where your balls are Salam ! go ahead and implement the plan by force , if you are going to wait for everybody's blessing , then you are in the wrong continent not country.
If i were in your place , it would be more decent for me to oppose everyone than to stay being thrown around with these worthless baladiat and politicians
