Kataeb MP Elias Hankache on Saturday stressed that they will refer to the Lebanese and International Judiciary so as to solve the waste management crisis, affirming that the Metn district has always been under the law.

“The ruling authority today is resuming a crime against the Metn region by expanding the Bourj-Hammoud landfill; a crime that has started five years ago,” Hanklache told MTV.

“We need a compensation for all the region's residents to restore what was destroyed by the corrupted authority that is conducting its shady deals behind people’s back,” he added.

Hankache stressed that he hoped that all officials who have participated in the meeting with Prime Minister Hassan Diab to stand by their side regarding this garbage crisis, saying that unfortunately this is not what happened.
