Hariri to Propose Formula for Portfolio Distribution Coming Week
Premier-designate Saad Hariri is expected the coming week to propose to President Michel Suleiman a formula for the distribution of cabinet portfolios and ministers and "to place political teams face to face with their responsibilities," the pan-Arab daily al-Hayat reported Sunday.
"Someone has to take responsibility for the delay in the government formation and for the delay of more important steps such as the Saudi-Syrian summit, expected to be held following a shape-up in addition to an anticipated visit to Syria by Hariri," sources told the paper.
