أزمة الكهرباء الى تفاقم وباسيل يدعو الى مساواة بيروت بكل المناطق

just do your jobs like mature and responsible people, wether your 14 or 8, your ignorance has become unbearable as you have proven to the people that you cannot govern.

I don't get it. Is he in the government or outside? Minister of what , I don't get it!!!! Stop blaming the others and start working for a change

If all the money received by the government, and government run institutions really went into the right places... we wouldn't be in this continuous mess. When will the value system of the country rise to meet the expectations of the inhabitants? Shouldn't this be a top-down modeling? Then we could wait a long time, I fear.

Why don't we build power plants on our rivers and use the dams we have to generate electricity, instead of wasting time and money on idiotic political bickering!!!!!

This is change and reform at its best. They control the government along with their allies, yet they are asking people to take to the streets and demonstrate!!!! Demonstrate against who? Saniora? Harriri? Hoss? Bassil, the miracle minister, is a disgrace to himself and to the nation. He is embezzling money every way he can, and has amassed a fortune including a private jet.

Lebanese are fed with your lies and family business who put you in that office you Alcopone, the question is what happened to the electricity Lebanese enjoyed before you took office and became in charge? Aoun is war criminal who is responsible for the death of many Lebanese during his being in charge of Baabda, again history repeats itself, the same failure to run, my advise to resign and let the professional Lebanese do the job.

He is holding lebanon and its citizen as his hostage for his caprices,just like any other spoiled brat kid.pappy in law tells him what to say and do.isn't it obvious???

privatisation is the answer.

Bassil is consistent, at least give him that.

When he was outside the government he blamed the government and the people in charge of the energy portfolio.

When he became part of a minority government he blamed the majority in the government even though he was in charge of the energy portfolio and they did vote for his energy bill, but before it was implemented he was ordered by Bashar's and Hassan's to topple the government and orders is orders.

Now he's part of a majority government with 11 ministers belonging to his family owned block and he's been the man in charge of the energy portfolio for four years, still he's so out of his depth he's now blaming the popular base of his own allies.

I Bassil wasn't screwing Aoun's daighter he wouldn't even be allowed to plug a a toaster in a wall outlet.

Any one who thinks that Lebanon's electricity crisis is the fault of Bassil is obviously either misinformed or purposely embarrassingly partisan. This problem is a result of 20 years of neglect and corruption (mostly under the martyr hariri's government.) no one can solve this problem overnight, to think so is unfair.

Bassil is not the richest man in lebanon as some trymto mislead. Have we all forgotten what he did with the telecom ministry? When everyone said that reducing rates would bankrupt the ministry (the main source of gov income), it did the opposite and no one gives him credit for the cheaper rates. However, he is not my favorite minister or member of the fpm. He is very arrogant, and comes of very childish with his silly comments. Ibrahim Kaanan is much better.

Bassil's achieved cheaper rates with crappier service at the telecom ministry I wonder why you forgot to mention that, mate. Our bills became larger as a result of having to make the same call numerous times. Only an idiot would agree that adding subscribers without adding lines was a good competent positive move and the child ado has confirmed that fact.

Why don't you fly on your new private jet and get advice from people who know what they are doing. Also tell the Shia to pay for what they use, and all they have taken for free.

Ado if you are really in Australia I wish you a happy Australia day, but you fail to mention that all Lebanese should pay PAY for their electricity I think that would be a fair and reasonable request

March 14 and March 8...You are all useless..2 faces of the same coin and mentality. Unfortunately people follow you like sheep and that's why Lebanon is doomed.

Aragon, I would never expect you to think anything else. "electricity it Lebanon was much better before (bassil) took over". What a fantastic incite you have...you must advise for the American republican party (GOP). Of course the current economy/ Lebanese electricity crisis, is the fault of Obama/bassil because they have been in charge for 3 years. They inherited this problem and they are the only ones that are realistically trying to solve the problem that is so intrenched that they are being attacked by all sides which have something to lose!

Who since the end of the war was not pro syrian except the LF, kataeb and fpm? Was it the mustaqbul party that has controlled all aspects of the government sice 1992?

Aragon... I honestly feel sorry for you if you really believe what you type.

....."He is very arrogant, and comes of very childish with his silly comments....

Ado..Your comment is self portrait of this idiot indicating that he is not mature to be in the post of a responsible minister :)

He should go back to his mum

Bassil is not a hobbit.Hobbits are cute.He,s much more than a gollum.

Ado ... the fpm is against Syria??? hahahahaha ... what a joke!
Yes, the Imbecile Bassil inherited a problem and the first thing he decided to do is make it worse! he decided with all his brain cells functioning to overburden the national debt with one of the most expensive solutions while there were other BOT options out there (I keep forgetting that you are against BOT, but I don't really care - it works) and in a country that is so in debt I don't think there is any other solution. Yet, our boy genius decides to reject them all mainly cause apparently he won't get a cut.
I call on the people that pay their bills to take to the streets against those who do not pay their bills yet get 24/7 electricity.
I feel sorry for you Ado if you believe what you type!
And leave the US problems to the US ppl ... we have enough of our own!

I think i understand whats happening, since the Zahrani power plant shutdown, there has been a standoff between the FPM and AMAL, Bassil knows who obstructed him, and he knows very well its allies from Hezb and Amal. This is why Berri was challenging him to say the names. It was a challenge . yet bassil of course , afraid of getting harmed, blamed the finance minister and mafias. But in the meantime he is asking for demonstrations from the people who dont get enough electricity and that pay their bills ( meaning specially christian neighboorhoods and others ) maybe this way he can push Berri and Hezb to implement some reforms int their regions if they dont want the governement to be toppled. Specially in this kind of situation where Syria is not with them no more.

It is interesting, it seems relations between FPM and AMAL /Hezbollah are deteriorating since the Syrian crisis. Everybody for themselves? or does Amal and Hezb know that without money to give to their people in the south they will be toppled as well? If Gebran is asking for demonstrations in order to pressure Berri and Hezb to help him rationize electricity and not send all of it to the people of the south that arent paying anything. Then i support him totally. But yet again, is this the truth?

What happened to the 1.2 billion dollars that was allocated to the energy sector last year? It's like it never existed. It's ridiculous that you can buy everything from a flat screen tv to a new ferrari in lebanon, but you can't have continuos electricity!!! It's time to stop letting politicians seperate the lebanese into different factions! This is how they stay in power! The lebanese should unite as they have in the past and stop letting these people brainwash them! It's no wonder that there are 16 million lebanese living outside of LEBANON!!!! I'M ONE OF THEM!!!!!
