Damascus, SANA – The new governors of four provinces were sworn in before President Bashar al-Assad on Monday.
Bassam Mamdouh Barssik, Mohammed Tarek Ziad Kreshati, Marwan Ibrahim Sharbak, and Ghassan Halim Khalil were sworn in as governors of Homs, Quneitra, Daraa, and Hasaka, respectively.
President al-Assad met with the new governors and provided them with directives, stressing the important role played by Governors as they are in direct contact with citizens, local councils, and municipalities, given them better insight into what could be done to develop provinces and their rural areas and improve their services facilities to serve citizens’ interests in the optimal manner.
His Excellency also stressed that the Governors’ work is essential as they are representatives of the central authority and supervise the work of the local authorities and bodies in the province, ensuring that they comply to laws and regulations and preserve security within the province.
