Miqati Insists that Blocs Nominate 3 Candidates for Every Portfolio
Premier-designate Najib Miqati is holding on to his constitutional rights in forming the new cabinet, al-Akhbar newspaper reported on Saturday.
“If I began my governmental career by abandoning the constitution, what will I be left with?” his visitors quoted him as asking.
He also renewed his insistence on the suggestion that every parliamentary bloc provide him with the portfolios they want and three possible candidates for those positions.
Miqati will then select which of the candidates is most appropriate for the position.
The premier-designate revealed that Speaker Nabih Berri was the one who had proposed this solution.
