Kataeb Lawmaker Nadim Gemayel believed that the main reason behind the division within the municipality of Beirut into several sectors is development.

According to Gemayel, residents of Beirut unanimously perceive that development is not being implemented correctly.

"We reject playing the sectarian card; let development be our focus. Our understanding is to develop the capital with all its neighborhoods and regions. This project must be approached positively so that we can achieve results and ensure equality and absolute rights for the residents of Beirut, without any regional, or sectarian considerations," Gemayel said in an interview with  "This is Lebanon" website.

He emphasized that the biggest challenge in this matter is avoiding sectarian division.

"If the issue takes a sectarian turn, many things will be hindered, and we do not want to be separated from our Muslim brothers," Gemayel noted.
