In fact, the eyes and ears of more than one parliamentary team were in the session, and they were waiting for what the head of the tender department, Jean Elia, would say, who did not hesitate during his last press conference, which was dedicated to responding to the Former Minister César Abi Khalil, on referring to the multiple violations it contains. The file hides it. It is widely believed that the head-to-head session between the two teams will reveal some facts and clear up many ambiguities that would shed light on the potential waste in this dossier, which cost the public treasury tens of billions of dollars.
For this reason, the “Democratic Board” presented an official request to the Bidding Department, in accordance with the Access to Information Law, to obtain the necessary documents to support the notification deposited by the discriminatory Public Ministry in the bidding file of electrical warehouses, based on what was said by the head of the tender department in his last press conference, Regarding “the infractions that occur in the Ministry of Energy when presenting condition books on the issuance of tenders in the electrical file, that always lead to a bidder in contradiction with the Law of Tenders and Assets to preserve public money, and this indicates the persistence in the policy of waste, hemorrhage, brokerage and transactions ”.
It is true that the Zahle Electricity issue occupies the highest priority, since the current contract signed with the Zahle Electricity Company, whose concession expires on December 31, was necessary, and discussions on the future formula had to be speeded up to prevent Zahle fall into the dark, but some parliamentarians had doubts, especially because they insisted on the head of the commission. It works, Nazih Najm, to quickly proceed to open the electricity file wide, without delay. He will be deported next week.
Among the parliamentarians other than the “Future” team, it is believed that the latter is wary of approaching this file due to considerations related to the “Free Patriotic Movement”, similar to what the latter does with respect to the communications file, which is no less severe and wasteful. than the electricity record. In recent years, it has become a gutter for millions and the benefits that political forces derive from them. Although the stone of the “reformist” claims rolls to include the issue of the displaced, electricity and fuel before them, it seems that the communications file did not find a political team to take it to the Judiciary, leaving the task to nothing less than to the political forces that decided to confront them according to the judicial framework.
The lease and purchase agreements for the Touch building, which cost the public treasury some one hundred million dollars, have been brought to light again through a lawsuit brought before the first investigating judge in Beirut. Waseem Mansour, shareholder of the Touch company, in collaboration with the legal notary, filed against the two former ministers, Jamal. Jarrah and Mohamed Choucair, accused of abuse of power, diversion of influence and bribery. The first session is supposed to be on January 7 next.
The problem is not the problem itself, but how the political forces handle the corruption files. Even those who are upset by some intelligence are not exempt from the charge of discretion and selectivity in choosing what they want from the scandals brought to the judiciary, which the Lebanese hoped would act on its own as soon as they heard the scandals in the languages of parliamentarians and ministers. How many of them are.
Opposition MPs say that the presidential agreement woven by the “Free Patriotic Movement” and “The Future Movement” has been suspended. But its effects in the conflict of the judicial files, it seems that they have not been frozen. They point a finger at the electricity and telecommunications archives to indicate that neither of them plan to legislate these two wide-open “caves”.
