The cabinet confirmed the expansion of the Costa Brava landfill and decided to task the old contractor to treat the Tripoli landfill, in addition to building a wall and a sanitary landfill next to the existing one.
Education Minister Marwan Hamadeh attended the cabinet session on Thursday at the Grand Serail to show solidarity with Speaker Berri regarding the item related to extending the deadline for the registration of expatriate voters, but he later left the session in objection to the agenda lacking educational items.
Prior to the session, Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil asked: “How do they accuse us of attempting to delay the elections while we are the ones who object the term extension?”
For his part, Displaced Minister Talal Erslan expressed his support for Bassil’s proposal to extend the deadline for the registration of expatriate voters.
