The Hypocrisy of the FPM

August 25, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui

From today’s Daily Star editorial:

Aoun and his followers have harangued the country about the need for better accountability when it comes to state money, but have conveniently forgotten this point when challenged to come up with an agreed-upon mechanism for spending the money. All of a sudden, there is no word on the role of a state regulating agency for electricity, just the demand of “give us $1.2 billion” with parliamentary elections less than two years away.

PM Mikati would be a fool to cave in..
