Now Lebanon - Nahhas: Ogero’s director general “transferred to judiciary” - May 30, 2011

Telecommunications Minister Charbel Nahhas said in a press conference on Monday that Ogero’s Director General Abdel Monem Youssef “was transferred to the judiciary” to be held accountable.
Following the Parliamentary Media and Communications Commission meeting, Nahhas said “we filed a lawsuit to the military court for storming” the Telecommunications Ministry building in Adliyeh.
The procedures in the Telecommunications Ministry are specific, and “we will abide by them,” he added.
Nahhas also said that the “third mobile network” is a Chinese donation, adding “We announced after [receiving it] that we will look into means to benefit from it.”
He also thanked Interior Minister Ziad Baroud, President Michel Sleiman and Lebanese army Commander General Jean Kahwaji “who [ended] the rebellious force” in the ministry’s building in Adliyeh.
On Thursday, Nahhas said in a press conference that Internal Security Forces (ISF) units had illegally occupied a building owned by his ministry in Adliyeh.
Baroud abdicated his ministerial duties after the ISF members did not withdraw from the building upon his request. The building was handed to the Lebanese army on Friday.
