Caretaker Minister of Finance, Youssef Al-Khalil, on Thursday welcomed Beirut Governor, Judge Marwan Abboud, and President of the Municipal Council, Jamal Itani. The meeting reportedly discussed a number of issues that involve the Lebanese capital. After the meeting, Abboud said: “We followed up with the Minister of Finance on the capital’s solid wastes dossier, which has been transferred to the Independent Municipal Fund. We also tackled mechanisms for coordinating and following up on the retail vegetable market in Jalloul land, especially in terms of accelerating its registration in the real estate registry to place it in the service of the public at a later stage.’ The meeting also touched on pricing mechanisms to collect municipal fees and public funds. Al-Khalil had earlier met with the Internal Security Forces’ Director-General, Imad Othman. Discussions reportedly focused on nutrition in prisons.
