قانون "الكهرباء" لم يقر... المجلس يشهد سجالات وكرة نار شربل على النواب

Clown's checks from Syria will be halted in near future

How on earth the ministry could use the money without being audited or monitored.
Freedom to use , No questions asked.......
where on earth are we in today's life.

How can people be so naive to think that the minister will use the money freely. In this case, instead of rejecting the draft law, the opposition should add the necessary "controls". Either through asking the minister for a detailed expenditure plan for the 1.2bn$ to be approved by the parliament, or to add to the draft law that any expenditure above a certain limit must have the approval of the government as well as an independent audit commission nominated for this purpose and which shall quickly decide and avoid losing time.

I am an expert in the electricity sector. A combined cycle gas fired power plant such as this one should cost $1,000 to $1,200 per kW to build. That implies that the cost should be $700 million to $840 million, not $1.2 billion. Something is odd and the minister should explain the discrepancy. That being said, it is a no brainer to burn gas rather than oil given the massive price advantage which is expected to persist and given the environmental advantages. The key is whether or not Lebanon feels comfortable with the supply security of gas through pipeline infrastructure (vs LNG since Lebanon has no LNG terminals).

I have every confidence that the money can safely be given to GMA's son-in-law to use as he sees fit as GMA is clearly against corruption and would not allow him to misuse the funds.

Scumbags, 1.2 billion with no strings attached? Gtfo here with that bs! U think the ppl are so naive? Buddy, were 50 bill in debt and ur trying to undergo a 1.2 bn project which puts the people in harm of this sht!! U guys r fkn crazy!

There is nothing to explain Samuel. The discrepency is going into Berri' s pocket ! He' s been in control of the tenders in that sector, (so it seems for a long time.)..We know where the 400 million will go.As to GB he lives in cuckoo' s land. When you dont play by the rules and you murder your political opponents, draft bills, and asking the minister to produce an expenditure plan, and any expenditure above a certain limit must have the approval of this or that, is wishful thinking! When you' re a foul player you' re a foul player. Rules are then made to cover a big dump of shitheads !
