Former Ambassador Tracy Chamoun issued the following statement: “Regardless of the fake trade in the constitution, why do we see such a huge fight for the Ministry of Finance? The recent explosion disaster that destroyed the country and violated the opportunity to put Lebanon on the right track confirms the citizens’ worst fears about motives of interest. The subjectivity of corrupt and conflictive politicians “.
Shamoun added: “One person should only wonder: What is the reason behind President Nabih Berri’s insistence on controlling the Ministry of Finance, and what is he trying to protect or hide? Is he trying to protect the 30,000 bogus government jobs that legislated? Or the 5,000 other fictitious job he created, and what about his employment as illegal day laborers in the public sector?
He continued: “Just as important, we ask ourselves: How can the same people responsible for many years of corruption oversee the criminal financial audit, which is supposed to reveal the facts behind the looting of public funds that cost the Lebanese their stability. and financial security? ” And how are we convinced that their intervention is not apart from hiding these facts from the Lebanese?
He considered that “it is necessary to refer to the following comment: Finance Minister Nabih Berri, Ghazi Wazni, anticipated the work of the audit committee by signing an amended contract without prior consultation, in order to limit the committee’s supervision and exclude participation from an international organization that oversees the investigation of money laundering and terrorism financing. “
She said: “Therefore, is not the insistence of the ‘Shiite duo’ to adhere to the Ministry of Finance as a flagrant defiance of logic and in the interest of Lebanon? Taxing Lebanon as a result of its designation as a global terrorist organization How do you hope to ensure the international assistance that Lebanon needs to survive?
What but a mockery! Or could it be intentional to disrupt the International Monetary Fund in Lebanon and drag the country onto another axis?
And Shamoun considered that “this behavior resembles a sick person with an infectious disease preparing food for their home! If they claim to take care of their (Lebanese) home, they must realize and understand the need to remove them from that particular ministry at this precise moment to find other solutions! “
And he said: “In addition to the above, it is surprising that the Shiite duo also demands conditions to obtain a third of the“ blocking ”votes in the new government! How can any party today, in light of the current painful circumstances, speak of “preventive measures” and use this argument to avoid the formation of a Government, what is the soul of a dying country? A country that needs more than ever to implement positive solutions! This shows your exclusive thinking about protecting your narrow interests!
Shamoun pointed out that “the Ministry of Finance is not a religious bargaining chip! The argument of all politicians about the ‘sectarian ownership’ of a ministerial portfolio is an illusion and an imagination! After Taif, the sectarian division only became attributed to the three “presidencies”, not to the members of the Ministerial Council! She called for the exclusion of all religious and party considerations from the formation of the government, and all politicians responded to President Emmanuel Macron saying “Yes sir” , and they did the exact opposite. They lied to his face, a blatant lie. “
Shamoun concluded: “Within 15 days, the political leaders sabotaged the French initiative for the sake of their own interests, once again! What a shame! They can no longer be absolutely trusted! Therefore, to form a just, equitable and effective reform government, it must be free of sectarian quotas. And partisan affiliations. The principle is to elect ministers on the basis of merit and professionalism. “
