The Lebanese minister Adnan Sayyed Hasan told The Independent National News Agency of Kurdistan (AKnews).
In another context,Sayyed Hussein pointed out that "The reforms which will be applied on the municipal elections law, though it is not enough, will be positive," he added ," and at the same time , passing the women's quota is good but must be coupled with discentralization administration, balanced development and other reforms" .
He stressed on that "The examination of these reforms will continue next Wednesday in details in the Ministers Council, pointing out that "adopting the reforms will allow the elections to be held on time."
On the other hand Sayyed Hussein ruled out taking the reforms issue to be discussed on the national dialogue table, expecting it to "remain in the Ministers Council and The Parliament to agree on it."
