The Prime Minister’s Advisor for Transport Affairs, Nasser Al-Asadi, announced today, Friday, the formation of a committee to inventory and evaluate private expropriations along the development road project.
Al-Asadi told the (INA): “The Supreme Committee for the Development Road Project decided during the last meeting to form a committee from several parties to limit the evaluation of expropriations and then determine the compensation amounts,” indicating that “a royal order will be issued to begin its work as soon as possible.”
Al-Asadi added, “Most of the private expropriations on the development road project belong to the state, and a small percentage belong to citizens, so the compensation amounts will be determined for them.”
