iloubnan - Farid Habib calls to refer Nahhas to judiciary - June 01, 2011


Future's Deputy Farid Habib called, during an interview on Wednesday on MTV channel, to refer Caretaker Telecommunications Minister, Charbel Nahhas, to judiciary.

'The resigned Minister Charbel Nahhas seeks to take over OGERO Company with view of annulling it afterwards,' he said.

He held the other camp responsible for the current vacuum in the vital utilities, recalling the 'coup' that camp launched against Doha Accord, as well as for toppling the national unity government. 'The other camp's policy of blocking and resignations highlighted the past stage, mostly Charbel Nahhas' behavior,' he added.

He said 'any decision to be issued by the cabinet must not be modified by any Minister whosoever unless through another decision issued by the cabinet.'

'ISF Director General, Major General Ashraf Rifi, sought to protect public and state's funds, nothing more nothing less,' he stressed, pointing that Nahhas still detains funds from the telecoms ministry's revenues which he had not sent to the finance ministry and the state Treasury yet.

Commenting on House Speaker Nabih Berri's call for the Parliament to convene on forthcoming June 8, Habib said 'it is not feasible that the Parliament carries out legislative tasks when a caretaker government is in office. We do not want new crises in the country.'
