March 14 camp MPs withdrew on Monday from the parliamentary Finance and Budget Committee meeting over accusations Change and Reform bloc MP Ibrahim Kanaan directed against the head of the Mustaqbal bloc MP Fouad Saniora, reported Voice of Lebanon radio.

It said that the MPs refuse to return to the committee before Kanaan issues an apology over his allegations.

MP Jamal al-Jarrah accused Kanaan of spreading lies about Saniora, saying that his claims are baseless and lack objectivity.

“We don’t have the honor of taking part in a committee headed by someone whose sole concern is misleading the public,” he added.

He said that the Change and Reform MP was abusing his position as head of the committee in order to achieve political goals.

Kanaan had accused Saniora of stealing funds from the treasury and the Finance Ministry.

Dear Mr. Al-Jarrah, of course you will no longer have the honor of sitting with someone who throws the truth at your eyes, as you have, for decades, been used to lies and theft of public funds, you and your political allies.
It's an honor that MP Kanaan has accepted to sit with you and our friends in the committee. Welcome to the real world of serious performance by people who work to the interest of the country.

This guy with his childish ways and prejudices should not even be in government at all. He gives the whole idea of political voices emanating from the Christian political sectors a bad name for childish, insular, juvenile behavior.
