Qabbani Meets Miqati: Cabinet-Approved Mechanism to Determine Civil Service Appointments
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Premier Najib Miqati held talks on Tuesday with the head of the Civil Service Council, Khaled Qabbani, on the appointment of top civil servants, which had faced the obstacle of lack of political consensus among the major parties.
Qabbani stated after the meeting: “The mechanism that was approved by cabinet will determine the appointments of top civil servants.”
“This mechanism is recognized by all sides and the premier and president have voiced their support for it,” he remarked.
“The Civil Service Council is completely prepared to go ahead with the issue,” he stressed.
Miqati’s sources told As Safir daily that the PM will energize the government’s work this month to deal with several pending issues, mainly appointments to state positions.
They expected the appointments to begin mid-January in accordance with a mechanism that calls for appointing top civil servants such as governors and then moving to lower-ranking positions.
Al-Liwaa daily said that agreement has been reached on appointing Judge Antoine Daher to head the Higher Judicial Council after ruling out Judge Alice Shabtini and Tannous Meshleb.
The post had been a point of contention between President Michel Suleiman and Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun. The newspaper did not clarify if both officials had agreed on the name of Daher.
But it stressed that the appointment will be published in the official gazette next week after its announcement on Tuesday.
If that step was made, the other members of the HJC will be appointed, paving way for the trial of suspects arrested in the clashes between the Fatah al-Islam terrorist network and the Lebanese army in the Nahr al-Bared Palestinian refugee camp in 2007, al-Liwaa said.
However, former Minister Mario Aoun, who is close to the FPM leader, told Voice of Lebanon radio station (93.3) that “there has been no progress in the file of administrative appointments.”
He also denied that agreement has been reached on the name of the HJC’s president.

Lebanese are paying the heavy price with the no power plan for the country, this proves the failure of this government to meet the real need of Lebanese people especially the electricity. Aoun culture of corruption is the real threat to the Lebanese national security, shame that Lebanon has no power today. Lebanese can't use their own natural energy to improve their living.
corruption and more corruption in this selfish government.

Every truth hurts the most who is the real face of it, for example jabalamel was hurt, when I said that Lebanon electricity problem is as a result of the failure of Aoun and Hezbollah to make improvement in the sector, especially when they are in charge. They failed their own people and Lebanese and as a Lebanese I have the right to complain about the failed leadership like you are protecting, let me tell you that Aoun and Hezbollah are more traitors and double agents, flip floppers will serve any one more than they care about our Lebanese daily needs for energy.
