The expert, Thamer Al-Azzawi, said in a statement to the newspaper "Al-Sabah", which was followed by the independent: "The rise in selling prices of crude oil is an important opportunity to invest the financial surplus in the implementation of strategic projects."
He stressed, "the necessity of allocating a percentage, such as 10 percent of the total revenues for the development and reconstruction sector,"
suggesting that "a higher reconstruction council be formed to allocate funds and identify projects."
Al-Azzawi added: "The funds can be directed to the reconstruction and development of two governorates each year, with the continuation of services in the other governorates.
Thus, all governorates will witness an urban and development renaissance in less than eight years."
