Free Patriotic Movement reports energy sector corruption
The article addressed investigations and complaints filed by MPs and a member of the Free Patriotic Movement regarding corruption and financial waste in the Lebanese energy sector. Deputy Nada Boustani confirmed that there is a waste exceeding 7 million dollars related to the fuel tanker "Pasilis," due to legal violations that caused payment delays and fines payable by the state, expressing concern that the measures taken have imposed unwarranted financial burdens on citizens. MP Cizar Abi Khalil pointed to unjustified increases in fuel prices amounting to 180 million dollars annually, resulting from rises in the fuel pricing schedule, without any objective studies to justify these increases. Wadie Akl noted a 10% increase in electric generator bills, deeming these actions as "systematic corruption" that imposes financial burdens reaching hundreds of millions of dollars on citizens, amid ongoing judicial investigations to hold those responsible for these violations accountable.
