iloubnan - Special Tribunal for Lebanon item not yet discussed: Daouq - June 28, 2011

Information Minister Walid Daouq said on Monday, the ministerial policy statement drafting committee did not discuss today the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) item.

"We did not discuss this issue at all," said Daouq in response to a question. 

The committee convened today in its fifth meeting at the Grand Serail under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Najib Mikati, in presence of Ministers Ali Qanso, Ali Hassan Khalil, Mohammad Safadi, Mohammad Fneish, Wael Abu Faour, Gebran Bassil, Charbel Nahhas, Nazem Khoury, Shakib Qortbawi, Nicholas Nahhas, Walid Daouq, and Cabinet Secretary General Souheil Bouji. 

Speaking to journalists following the meeting, Daouq said "many affairs of various sectors are on-the-table," in reference to telecoms, tourism, environment, health coverage, and social dossiers. 

Women's role in the public life was discussed, whereby Minister Daouq was keen to assure that this role could be enhanced in public administrations. Echoing the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister, Daouq said the absence of women in the cabinet line-up was one of the current government's "flaws."
