The Director of Evaluation and Environmental Authorizations in the Ministry of Environment Naji Issa Ansura, responded in an exclusive statement to our source about the accusations by an official of the Atomic Energy Establishment that the Ministry of Environment had failed to perform its work.

Naji Issa said that the workers of the Ministry of Environment are working very hard to play their part in spite of all the difficulties they faced, adding that the official of the Atomic Energy Establishment should not have charged the Ministry, which was considered to play the required role in accordance with its capabilities.

He explained that the Environment Ministry has no cars for mobility and field visits, and its current visits are carried out by private employee cars or cars of the visited regions, as well as the salaries of the Ministry workers are weak and barely equal to the security pension, « meaning that the sleeping person in his house takes more than the engineer and specialist that works by the ministry, “according to his expression.

The Environment Ministry Official Naji Issa ended by saying: “We strive to do our part to the fullest and over time we will be able to set all the required environmental requirements. “
