Ibrahim’s term may be extended by administrative or govt. decision
The term of General Security chief Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim might be extended through an administrative decision or a Cabinet resolution should parliament fail to hold a legislative session, a media report said on Monday.
“Following the meeting that was held last evening between PM Najib Mikati and Maj. Gen. Ibrahim, informed sources said a plan was being prepared to extend Ibrahim’s term with an administrative decision that could be issued by the premier and the interior minister or by the interior minister alone, seeing as he has authority over the Directorate General of General Security,” al-Joumhouria newspaper reported.
Ibrahim’s tenure might alternatively be extended in a Cabinet session that would be held before the end of this month and days before Ibrahim is sent to retirement on March 3.
