A ministerial committee formed to study Energy Minister Nada Boustani’s plan to overhaul the electricity sector has amended provisions related to reducing the budget deficit, boosting production levels and rolling out the plan’s short- and long-term stages, Deputy Prime Minister Ghassan Hasbani said Friday.
Hasbani, a member of the Lebanese Forces, who sits on the committee, told Voice of Lebanon radio (93.3) that the plan must prioritize addressing the squandering of funds in the sector so that the deficit does not further increase.
