Lebanese President Michel Aoun promised that he will continue to assume his responsibilities “in the assignment and authorship, and in every constitutional position and office, and in front of all those who prevent our people from reforming and building the state”, and emphasized that “I have I said my word and I will not walk, but I will continue to fulfill the covenant and promise. ” Think carefully about the implications of the mandate on authorship, reform projects and international rescue initiatives, because the current deteriorating situation cannot continue after today. Accumulating and increasing loads on the shoulders of the citizens.
Aoun addressed a speech to the Lebanese, in which he said that frankness “invites me to tell them that I live in the pain of the people, and I understand their resentment, but the truth is that I must mention that some of those who ruled Lebanon for decades , and that they are still in person or in their approach, raised resounding slogans that were left without any Contents, and were like anesthetic promises, that the Lebanese people did not see any qualitative achievement that would give security in their present and future “, considering that the reform “It was left as a mere slogan that officials and politicians repeat while they are completely opposed to it. And devotion, until we got to that corruption in Lebanon turned into institutional corruption, organized par excellence.
With the launch of parliamentary consultations today to appoint a new prime minister (expected to be Prime Minister Saad Hariri), it seemed as if he was trying to hold Hariri accountable for fighting corruption and launching the reform process, through the question he raised in his speech: “Will the person responsible for the commission be obliged to address the underlying issues? Corruption and launching a reform workshop?
Aoun addressed parliament on the eve of the consultations and said: “I hope you will think carefully about the effects of the mandate on authorship and on reform projects and international rescue initiatives, because the current deteriorating situation cannot continue after today. Accumulating and increasing loads on the shoulders of the citizens. He added: “Today I am required to commission and then co-author, in accordance with the provisions of the constitution.”
Aoun asked about the absence of a comprehensive system of social protection, comprehensive medical, therapeutic and hospital benefits, and “increased subsidies for our vital materials, most of which we import, and we do not control the benefit of our people alone” . He also asked about the economy after his earnings consumed Lebanese savings and reaped his life, and the Economic plan and whose implementation failed? What about electricity and dam plans?
He said: “In the early days of my era, I woke up the gas exploration and exploration decrees in our sea after a deep sleep, and gas is a natural wealth of its size and rescue effects for our deteriorating economic conditions, while that skepticism still prevails among those who promote pessimism about some of those who run public affairs. “
He asked: ‘Where are the rest of the reform projects? Where are the 47 articles that were presented to the heads of all the blocs and parties in a collective meeting in the Baabda Palace, and most of them were approved, but nothing has been implemented? Why was it avoided to assume responsibilities and approve reform projects? Whose interest is this inaction? Is it possible to fix what has been corrupted by adopting the same policies? “He also asked:” Where are the proposed reform laws regarding the recovery of stolen money and the automatic investigation of the financial assets of those in a public service and the special court for financial crimes? Where do we come from? wasting public money, the Relief Commission, the Development and Reconstruction Council, the Displaced Persons Fund, the South Council Fund and the unproductive public institutions that we agreed to cancel to end the severe financial hemorrhage?
He added: “Where did the aid programs, the French economic rescue initiative, the talks with the International Monetary Fund and the contributions of the International Support Group in the rescue operation come from? Where does the judiciary come from the power of the powerful? Last but not least; Where did we come from the criminal scrutiny of the Banque du Liban, which is a government decision aimed at uncovering the causes of the current collapse and identifying those responsible for it, including actors, interveners and participants? “This pioneering experiment came from those who oppose it, obstruct it, and maneuver to thwart it.”
Aoun said that the silence of any official and his lack of cooperation in the criminal audit exhibition “indicates that he is a partner in waste and corruption”, noting that this experiment, if successful, will apply to all ministries, councils , funds, bodies, committees and joint ventures without exception, and will allow identification. Responsibilities and implementation of the necessary reforms, leading to the elimination of the corrupt.
