Mashtat said, according to the official agency, that "there is still no supreme council for reconstruction until the approval of its law," noting that "the law was prepared and sent to the parliament for approval through the three readings."
He added that "there is a committee formed under my chairmanship, which is the Supreme Committee for Construction and Services," noting that "this committee includes 13 agents and representatives from the provinces, and aims to discuss lagging projects in the governorates and find solutions to them, as each session was allocated to a specific governorate."
He pointed out that "the committee was able to find solutions for 46 projects stalled in the governorates," explaining that "among the projects for which solutions were found are the Diwaniyah sewers project, which began in 2008 and was referred to a company that was unable to complete it and stopped working on it."
He added, "It was also decided to specify each session for specific buildings, such as educational, residential, and industrial buildings, as well as basic design plans in the city," noting that "the next meeting will be devoted to industrial buildings and industrial zones."
He mentioned that "there are projects for which large sums were spent and nothing was found in reality," stressing that "the government is serious and determined to find solutions to these projects and determine who is responsible for them because they contain a kind of waste and extravagance for the state and the budget."
