Change and Reform: Completing State Budget Most Important Govt. Task
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Change and Reform bloc MP Ibrahim Kanaan said on Tuesday that the bloc’s primary goal is to rectify the functioning of the country’s state institutions according to legal means and not by forcing the people to succumb to its political interests.
He stated after the bloc’s weekly meeting: “Completing the state budget is the government’s most important task.”
He added that it is no coincidence that a budget had not been devised in Lebanon for years, condemning attempts to distract the people from this issue.
Addressing the wage hike, the MP said: “This matter is aimed at achieving social justice between worker and employer.”
The bloc is concerned with “radically tackling social issues” through adopting legal, social, and judicial standards, stressed Kanaan.
Regarding Mustaqbal MPs Jamal al-Jarrah and Hadi Hbeish’s statements that Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun should not complain about the squandering of public funds, the MP said: “Such remarks are meaningless and a sign that they are trying to evade the Audit Bureau’s decision on the national lottery financial violations in 1996.”
“Former Prime Minister Fouad Saniora has no choice but to answer to the judiciary,” stated the Change and Reform bloc MP.
Jarrah and Hbeish held a press conference on Monday to respond to FPM accusations that Saniora had squandered state funds through the national lottery.
They said: “Aoun has no right to speak of squandering public funds because those who have a history in such affairs are not entitled to accuse others of such crimes.”

Kanaan on MPs Jarrah and Hbeish’s statements that MP Michel Aoun should not complain about the squandering of public funds: Such remarks are meaningless and a sign that they are trying to evade the Audit Bureau’s decision. The judiciary is former PM Saniora’s fate.

Kanaan: I hope the uproar over al-Qaida would reach a result. Monday’s parliamentary committee meeting on the matter was aimed at covering up the meaningless uproar.

Kanaan: It is not a coincidence that it has been years since a state budget has been approved. Economic issues are important as the budget is the most important constitutional matter.

Some looser does not seem to know that it takes a blocking minority to obstruct a parliamentary vote or a decree... seems to me that M8 always had it (errr...FPM is M8...right??)... unfortunately!
But hey! No worries sandwich, electricity improved, cellular lines improved, internet, censorship, security, sovereignty ... we are going back to the Middle Ages thanks to your very competent good friends...

moreover lebanon has not managed to pass a budget since the assassination of Rafiq al-Hariri because the government became paralysed... who paralysed it? an irresponsible opposition (M8) which never wanted to let the previous gvt work for the sake of the people! (closure of the parliament, resignations, war, may 7th and so on...)
and now this kanaan is lecturing people along with mortadella...

oh and concerning so called thefts pretended by mortadella lets have a look of who is lying :
Kamal Hamdan, an independent consultant, says: “We have registered the highest growth rate in the last three or four decades during the last three years, when the government has been almost non-existent.” An IMF report this month estimated Lebanon’s growth rate this year at 8 per cent."

@ Martadella, stop acting like a moron, you know the FPM didnt need a majority to obstruct the parliament when your ally is Berri and the Hezb, your weapons terrorizing evrybody but the our ennemies the Zionist and Syrians worked perfectly well on other lebanese. you have obstructed everything from 2005 till today , you still fight among yourselves, you are nothing but a thieves, i wonder how the FPM mps got so rich, how Bassil bought all this land in batroun, how Aoun supposedly with a mps and retired army general salary can get up to more than a 100 bodyguards around his rabieh home, how also he never returned the golden pyjamas?

@ Martadella, teghyir wa esla7, i dont see any teghyir , exept of course for the telecoms beeing worse than before, i have to call up to 2 times so that i can reach somebody, because your masters have sold out a new line ( 76 ) and Lebanon's telecommunication nertworks cant support it, or also tell me about electricity, cutting more and more and sometimes not coming at all? tab3an, teghyir wa esla7 , go follow your master the great general of betrayal and runaway chicken, who takes a dose in insuline everyday to stay alive as well morphine so that his brain forget the endless painful cries of the soldiers he left behind murdered by his new best friend's father Hafez

@the sandwich
I repeat, It takes a blocking minority (of one third) (of the executif - that is the government) to obstruct a parliamentary vote or decree (well it's submission to the chamber that is). Since 2005, M8 always had this 1/3 blocking minority!
As for the present parliament, we can easily say that M14 has 60 seats out of 128... now if you call that majority ya Martadella, then it is you who is in denial! Should M14 have the majority of the parliament, Saad Hariri would be the Prime MNinister!
Now stop making a fool of yourself, take your lesson, and go play!
