Kanaan: Army Should Not Wait for Promises
The article focused on statements by Deputy Ibrahim Kanaan, Head of the Finance and Budget Committee, regarding the government's and the army's responsibilities amid Lebanon's economic and security conditions. He affirmed that parliamentary accountability aims to protect the state from errors and deficits, and that maintaining sovereignty requires liberating occupied territories and prisoners, as well as enhancing the army's capabilities. He emphasized that decisions regarding war and peace should be solely in the hands of the state and army, which should be the only authority across Lebanese territory. He clarified that support for the army must translate into concrete commitments through financing and equipment, calling on the international community to back the military institution. Regarding the financial file, he explained that the enactment of reform laws—such as amending the banking secrecy law and banking sector reforms—occurred during specific periods. Addressing the delays in implementing reforms, he emphasized that depositor funds are not uncertain losses, and that there should be scrutiny of figures and assets, along with recovering illicitly obtained funds. He stressed that reform must be linked to rights and the recovery of stolen funds, not just the number of laws passed. He criticized governments and the international community for failing to closely monitor financial accounts, which contributed to the worsening crisis. Concluding, he stated that the concept of trust requires genuine achievements and transparency. He expressed that with the implementation of reforms that restore sovereignty and deposits, the state will remain alongside the Lebanese people, reiterating his commitment to protecting their rights and dignity.
