Investment projects in Karbala not moving ahead – governor

KARBALA / IraqiNews.com: Karbala governor said that investment projects in the province are not moving ahead due to the state’s bureaucracy, demanding that the provincial governments be given the authority to draft their economic politics. “The current laws contradict with the investment law,” Aqeel al-Khazaali said. “Attempts to degrade the provincial governments should cease, because they have big capacities,” he added. He pointed out that media coverage concentrates on “federal figures” only, according to his description. MH (P)/SR 1
