Kataeb Leader Samy Gemayel directed a written question on behalf of the Kataeb parliamentary bloc to the Lebanese government about the reasons for not transferring the revenues of the Independent Municipal Fund that have accumulated over 2021 and 2022 and the revenues from mobiles phones since 2018 which have not been distributed until now. Gemayel considered that depriving municipalities from obtaining all their rightful revenues leads to the inability to provide basic services to residents within the municipal area and to the inability to secure salaries and compensation for employees in municipal councils. The Kataeb Leader asked Interior and Finance Ministers about the reasons for not issuing a decree to distribute the funds of the Independent Municipal Fund in September as required by legal provisions in this regard and about the date on which the government intends to transfer the collected funds from mobile phone revenues since 2018 to municipalities’ accounts.
