Al-Tamimi pointed out that "the officials working on this file if they do not make the employees and those appointed by the contract victims of their quarrels and political strife and that these contracts do not count on them, they are the simplest rights of young people and that their salaries are only crumbs compared to other salaries, from the top of the pyramid, and down."
