As the volume of garbage increasing in various parts of the country and a large number of citizens and expats had been complaining about garbage collection, Municipal Council member Maha AlBaghli filed inquiries concerning cleaning contracts.
In her inquires, Baghli demanded answers to questions about who is responsible for the service deterioration, the value of the current contracts, on what grounds are cleaning companies selected, the penal conditions in those contracts and the violations filed against cleaning companies, if any.
Baghli stressed that cleaning companies failed in providing the services they had been contracted for, and that the municipality’s control on those companies was ‘very weak.’
