I never really get why Lebanese are so excited to run for municipal positions. Unless you are the “mokhtar” or head of the municipality, you don’t get paid any salary and spend most of your time doing services.
Check out Burj Hammoud’s municipal unit for public work for example. It is located under a bridge near the famous garbage mountain! A Horrible location and i bet its employees have miserable wages!
For Mokhtar it’s not about the wages, it’s about the money you get paid to do transactions such as “Ekhraj 2ed” and such..
ElHaddad,
True but this happens only in big cities. In small villages, it is not that profitable.
Simply because you make a lot of money out of corruption… not wages
