Media journalist Salem Zahran revealed, on social media, that 20 days after the Beirut port explosion, a very dangerous book arrived at the Audit Office of the Ministry of Public Works and Transport, and that failure to address it could lead to a disaster at the airport. . In the details, on 02/24/2020, Maroun Shammas, the contractor for the facilities designated to supply fuel to the aircraft, and his company responsible for taking care of the facilities and repairs at Beirut International Airport, registered a book in which listed some of the operational risks that occurred at the airport: Leak A hole in the main supply pipe caused a loss of 84,000 liters of jet fuel. The main underground distribution room broke down, causing residual fuel flotation, which supplies all reefs in the network. It caused the airport to stop working for 4 hours. – The aircraft supply hatch at the gate number is completely locked. Electronic linkage and control systems are discontinued, leading to the cessation of control of station operation and jeopardizing air navigation. Damage to the main electrical panel of the station and the need to run the generators for 48 hours straight, which cannot be guaranteed in case it happens again the next time.

He pointed out that within a week, the Audit Bureau resolved the matter and reached several points in his opinion, including a correction on how to maintain and preserve public money without financial and administrative impurities, highlighting the need to carry out a public tender. , but the most dangerous thing that arose when reading the Bureau was the concern. Airport security, and this required transferring him to higher authorities.
He revealed that the president of the Audit Bureau, Judge Muhammad Badran, raised the alarm on September 1, and wrote to the legislative, executive and judicial authorities a book on the seriousness of what is happening at the airport, and today at the On the morning of September 3, the Minister of Public Works and Transportation sent two letters to the Presidents of the Republic. And the government for treatment. He explained that in the information also, the discriminatory lawyer, Judge Ghassan El-Khoury, sent the papers to the Public Finance Ministry to investigate the waste of public money, and the army command was informed to examine the referred danger, provided that the appropriate measures are taken. necessary actions. And I hope that the opinion of the Audit Office, along with my book, the Minister of Works, is not lost in the corridors of the departments, as it happened in the ammonium nitrate ship.
