Miqati Sources on Aridi’s Accusations: Problem Shouldn’t be Solved Through Media
Premier Najib Miqati’s sources have stressed that disagreements between Public Works Minister Ghazi Aridi and Finance Minister Mohammed Safadi should be solved away from the media glare.
In remarks to al-Liwaa daily published Friday, the sources said: “This problem should not be solved through the media.”
The sources refused to make more comments.
On Thursday, Aridi accused Miqati and Safadi of going back on their promise to finance the public works ministry’s projects.
But Safadi snapped back saying Aridi’s remarks were unjust.
He “knows more than anyone else that the public works ministry exceeded the ceiling set in the 2010 budget and the draft 2011 budget,” Safadi said, adding “he is now asking again to exceed it by large amounts.”
