The Deputy Prime Minister urged the administrative officials of Chamchamal to streamline the administrative procedures in order to effectively carry out and finalise the people's transactions while also ensuring that citizens are provided with optimal facilities.

He told them: "You are not rulers for the people, but you are their servants. Therefore, you must constantly meet the demands of the people to prevent them from seeing any hindrances to the implementation of their demands imposed by the administrative authorities."

He emphasised: "Our objective is to provide service to the citizens, and hence, any required modifications in administrative positions will be implemented."

DPM Talabani emphasised the need for administrative officials to streamline processes and implement effective steps to attract investors to Chamchamal, thereby fostering local growth and generating employment prospects for the youth.

He urged the officials of Chamchamal to receive the criticism of citizens with open hearts and refrain from filing lawsuits against anyone in response to their criticism, complaints, and rage.

"The law should be used to enforce and facilitate the affairs of citizens, rather than exacerbating issues for an enraged and discontented citizen," he said.
