Bou Saab demands government answers
The joint parliamentary committee session received sharp criticism from the Deputy Speaker of the House, Elias Bou Saab, who emphasized the weak government representation and the lack of clear responses to the bills sent by the government, which hindered effective discussion. The committees rejected the proposal to cancel three loans allocated for developmental projects, including infrastructure and water services, and referred them to the General Assembly with a recommendation for rejection. However, they approved other projects, such as increasing Lebanon's contribution to the Islamic Insurance and Investment Corporation, after discussions addressed some unanswered questions. Bou Saab clarified that the absence of complete information from the government led to the postponement of certain agreements, including the modification of the agreement between Lebanon and the Islamic Development Bank. Meanwhile, projects related to air transport regulation, including an agreement with the Ivory Coast government, were approved. He also stressed the need to activate committees handling critical issues such as educational institutions, food systems, and digitization, calling for cooperation and control amid the priorities of developing electoral laws and administrative decentralization, despite existing criticisms and challenges.
