Basil questions government on energy actions
The article addresses criticisms from the leader of the Free Patriotic Movement, Gebran Bassil, directed at the government and the Ministry of Energy regarding Lebanon's electricity sector. The report highlights the government's failure to fulfill its promises of providing 24/7 electricity for over 20 months, resulting in a reduction of power hours, culminating in complete darkness and the accumulation of large sums of money that caused a severe financial deficit. It also criticizes the work of the regulatory authority, the absence of clear plans, the increase in amounts paid to generators, and their profit margins at the expense of citizens. The article explains that the government has spent hundreds of millions of dollars without achieving tangible improvements, while projects for water and dams remain stalled, and no results have emerged from financial audits of offshore contracts. In conclusion, Bassil emphasizes that the promised reforms have not been implemented and that current policies are exacerbating the crisis, urging for a thorough review of these policies and their priorities.
