Al-Mashkoor expressed his optimism in passing the oil and gas law, and said that “the draft can be legislated within an understanding and complementary process, but imposing opinions is incorrect,” explaining that “the law was returned to the government without revision or amendment, even if there were disagreements on some of its points.” ". Al-Mashkoor stated that “the oil law guarantees the rights of all governorates in the available proportion,” pointing out that “some governorates are demanding an increase in their share, whether the request is professional or administrative.” link
