ANBAR, March 8 (AKnews) - Anbar council has filed a lawsuit against Iraq's Deputy Prime Minister and Energy Minister Hussein al-Shahristani for not agreeing on the investment of the metal phosphate cement plants in the province and instead reverting the project to the Ministry of Oil to introduce it within its licenses schedule.
Hussein Shahristani Officials believe such a move to be illegal as control of the project falls in the hands of Anbar council.
Muzher Hassan told AKnews that Shahristani did not approve the investment project while Anbar officials and government bodies in Baghdad did approve it.
"Comprehensive study and planning was prepared by Anbar Provincial Council and the [Anbar] Investment Commission and investing the plan will solve the problem of unemployment by providing thousands of jobs, in addition to getting benefit from the mineral wealth in western Anbar and providing services for citizens," he added.
Anbar council wants to establish laboratories for the production and concentration of phosphate ores and phosphoric acid, as well as launch three cement plants.
