[size=45]Economic expert Mohammed Al-Kubaisi stressed that the problem of encroachments on public places by low-income earners requires sustainable solutions that include creating new job opportunities, in addition to effective social support programs, noting that “improving the living conditions of this group can greatly reduce dependence on public places, and it is necessary for the government to invest in developing the infrastructure and fair distribution of resources.”[/size]
[size=45]Al-Kubaisi said, “Solutions aimed at addressing the problem of encroachments on public places by people with limited income include building housing units at reasonable prices or subsidized rent to encourage these individuals to move from public places to safe and sustainable housing.”[/size]
[size=45]He added, “Improving economic conditions by providing suitable job opportunities can help low-income people improve their living conditions, reducing their dependence on public places.”[/size]
[size=45]He stressed the "necessity of the government investing in developing unused public lands and distributing them to low-income people in an organized and legal manner."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Kubaisi called for “establishing programs to support these individuals financially or by providing vocational training and education, which would enable them to improve their standard of living away from transgressions in public places.”[/size]
[size=45]The economic expert continues, “Increasing investment in developing the infrastructure of poor neighborhoods to provide basic services such as electricity, water and sanitation, which may reduce the need to rely on public places.”[/size]
[size=45]For her part, the member of the Parliamentary Services and Reconstruction Committee, Madiha Al-Maksousi, confirmed that the Iraqi government is serious about finding real and realistic solutions for the violators, while indicating that it does not want to cut off citizens’ livelihoods.[/size]
[size=45]Al-Maksousi said, “The Iraqi government does not want to cut off anyone’s livelihood, and we in Parliament do not accept that the livelihoods of low-income people from the poor classes be cut off, but on the other hand, we are in favor of implementing the laws and preventing any violations in public places.”[/size]
[size=45]She added, "The Iraqi government has given many solutions to the owners of (stalls) in different areas of Baghdad who are violators, by allocating regular yards for them to practice their work in a legal and proper manner, but they refuse to do so."[/size]
[size=45]Al-Maksousi continued: “Even after the removal, they return to encroachment again by returning the (stalls) to the same places,” stressing that “this is a problem that most areas of Baghdad suffer from, and the matter is not limited to the popular and poor areas only.”[/size]
