Bassil Urges Judiciary to Act Against Employees Inside His Ministry
Caretaker Telecoms Minister Gebran Bassil said that there are employees inside his ministry who are setting obstacles in the way of major investments. Bassil urged the Lebanese Judiciary to take actions against them.
In a press conference held on Friday, Bassil said "obstructions to our work come from inside the Telecoms ministry".
"After the Taef Accord, each minister is obliged to implement the laws of his ministry," said Bassil. He considered that Caretaker PM Fouad Saniora was politically responsible for the obstructions.
Bassil said that the Lebanese would lose thousands of employment opportunities if the obstructions continue.
"The Call Centers project providing thousands of jobs for the Lebanese will continue," added Bassil.
The telecommunications minister said that the Lebanese Judiciary can show its justice and facilitate the investors procedures in this sector, especially in the domain of Call Centers.
