Khalid al-Saleh, president of the Media Office, praised the “efforts made by the interim cabinet which was dissolved during the General Assembly meeting today. Al Saleh said that “dissolving the interim cabinet does not mean lack of confidence or denying the efforts it has made so far, but it is chance to grant confidence to new technocratic expertise and to make the most of the renewable youthful expertise. The decision to form a new cabinet is purely democratic and was made in accordance with our national interests. Moreover, forming the interim cabinet set the stage for the institutionalization of the opposition bodies, even though it was marred by some faults which are a natural byproduct of any work or effort made in any field.” Al Saleh also said that the decision was made to create new ground for work on the basis of moving the government into the interior as soon as possible, and employing Syrian revolutionary capabilities.

Bahra stressed that the technocratic institutional work should govern the structure of the interim government, pointing out that the selection of human resources should depend on experience and competence, and that the cadres that previously worked in the institutions of the Assad regime should not be marginalized.“ He also stresses that “the plan we are seeking to implement has a name: Syria, and we will go through with it regardless of the internal and external political fluctuations. Therefore, we have initiated reforms to completely restructure the interim government and the SMC (Source: Syrian Coalition)
