WikiLeaks: Miqati Described Demianos Qattar as Smart but Lazy
Prime Minister-designate Najib Miqati has allegedly said that he committed two mistakes when he formed the technocrat cabinet in 2005.
According to a WikiLeaks cable published by al-Joumhouria daily on Monday, Miqati said the first mistake was to give the Labor Ministry portfolio to Trad Hamadeh.
Another mistake was granting Demianos Qattar the finance portfolio. According to the cable, Miqati said that Qattar was smart but lazy and trivial.
He only cares about hearing himself brag about his work, Miqati allegedly said. But the premier-designate stressed that the man is beneficial in analysis but not as a person responsible for the administration of a ministry.
