Al-Adad added, “The workshops were prepared with stakeholders to collect data on the problems and challenges facing investment and the citizen’s suffering with investment projects in previous administrations in order to address them and provide a real service to the citizen.”
For his part, Assistant Legal Counselor Murtada Al-Yasiri stated that “the partnership between the public and private sectors was mentioned in the government curriculum and we are working on it seriously,” pointing out that “the draft law activating the partnership between the public and private sectors has been in existence since 2019, but it was withdrawn before.” “The government will make adjustments and strengthen the private sector.”
He explained, “The government sector is not a competitor or in opposition to the private sector, but rather a complement and the government supports it,” stressing that “the partnership between the public and the private and the contracting between the two parties is very important.”
He pointed out that “these workshops are an attempt to overcome the historical dimension through competition between the two parties and the adoption of opinions,” noting that “legal security, which is a well-known term, requires application, guarantees to capital, and a legal cover that secures work.”
