Boustani: It’s not the government that abandoned him

Deputy Nada Boustani criticizes, in a statement, her government's performance in the energy and water sectors in Lebanon, pointing to the worsening situation after more than two years in office. She explained that electricity supply has become limited to just two hours daily, and that the Zouk and Jiyé power plants are shut down. Citizens are increasingly relying on generators, with costs nearing two billion dollars annually. She also noted that the Lebanese Electric Company has become bankrupt, having previously held $700 million in its reserve fund. The challenges include delays in exploration activities, a decline in the state's share of resources, imbalances in water and electricity fees and taxes, and the suspension of dam projects. The outcome has been that solutions depend on evading responsibility and retreating from action, emphasizing that accountability does not lie solely with the current government but is the result of a lack of will to implement reforms.
