Now Lebanon - Karam: Electricity issue will be resolved before Wednesday cabinet session - September 06, 2011


State Minister Salim Karam said on Tuesday that the controversy over the Change and Reform bloc’s draft energy bill will be resolved before Wednesday’s cabinet session.
“The [atmosphere] is conducive toward [finding] a solution, and [talks] are positive,” he told Voice of Lebanon (93.3) radio.
Karam added that the electricity issue “should not be discussed anymore since it will be finalized [soon].”
