Basil investigates Maamel Zouk and Jiyyeh outages
The article discussed the political protests and the situation surrounding the Zouk and Jiyé power plants in Lebanon. The Media Department of the Free Patriotic Movement, headed by Gebran Bassil, issued a statement clarifying that the halt in operations at the two plants is due to funding issues and that the FPM is not responsible for this. The statement emphasized that the amendments to the project contract in 2013 were made with the approval of the Council of Ministers and did not increase the cost. It also stated that work resumed after financial obligations were settled, leading to the operation of both plants in 2017. Additionally, the statement reviewed investigations and international arbitration processes that did not establish any responsibility or accountability of Gebran Bassil or his movement for the plants' suspension. The statement blamed those who previously delayed their completion for the current stoppages and called for identifying who turned off the plants and why they are still not operational.
