BEIRUT: Beirut MP Mohammad Qabbani filed an official question Wednesday over the Energy Ministry’s failure to hand over its national plan to guide water resources. Qabbani, who chairs Parliament’s committee on public works, transport, energy and water, expressed his concern about the national strategy, especially as “large budgets” have been set aside for dam projects without any prior research or study by the committee. The MP said his committee submitted its recommendations vis-à-vis the strategy in 2009, generating a response from the ministry, which affirmed its plans to deal with the sector.
