Is the era starting its fight against corruption
The article addresses Lebanon's ongoing struggle against corruption that has lasted for decades. It reviews efforts to combat corruption beginning with the era of Fuad Shihab, who attempted to build a state based on institutions, passing through other periods marked by attempts at reform and purification. However, the confessional system and political quotas hampered these efforts. During President Joseph Aoun's term, judicial investigations were launched against senior officials, yet the deep-rooted corruption network, protected by financial and political influence and quotas, remains a significant obstacle. The article emphasizes the necessity for the Anti-Corruption Authority to question individuals who have dealt with the state about their personal wealth, as a means to recover stolen funds and achieve genuine reform.
