Amidst electoral bickering in the case of the religious women educators in Tripoli and the North, and the promises thrown by former and current premiers Mikati and Hariri, (https://bit.ly/2HXdH0R), Al Diyar noted last week that the issue is getting more complicated. Citing informed sources, the newspaper predicted the situation to be graver especially after the suspension of the financial grants and health insurance, unless the Grand Mufti of the Republic quickly advises a solution to raise the current scant salaries (LL 400-500). Al Diyar recalled an incident mid last month at a hospital in Tripoli, when a nurse described the condition of one of the Tripoli Awkaf sheikhs who could not cover the hospitalization expenses of his sick daughter. Furthermore, Al Diyar disclosed sources close to women religious educators saying they received official promises from Al Awkaf to correct their situation immediately after signing the Tripoli Mall project. The latter will reportedly be implemented on the premises of the Islamic Awkaf in the city. (Al Diyar, April 23, 2018)
