NNA – Head of the Public Works, Transport, Energy and Water Parliamentary Committee, MP Nazih Najm, said Sunday that “without a government, there is no solution for anything, neither for electricity, nor for flour, nor for diesel, nor for medicine,” considering that “all current treatment proposals are like morphine needles and not a root solution to the problems.”
“Without an executive authority, the country is heading towards ruin,” warned Najm in an interview with “NBN” Channel earlier today.
In this connection, the MP praised the efforts of Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri and hoped that he would succeed in eliminating the obstacles, while highlighting the need to help the Speaker, “as it is not possible to ask him and Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri to form the government alone without the help of the remaining sides.” He also hoped that Hezbollah Secretary-General, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, would “press in the right direction on the other party so that the government can be formed.”
Najm continued to stress that “what is required of the President of the Republic, General Michel Aoun, and the Head of the Free Patriotic Movement, MP Gebran Bassil, is know well that it is not possible to form a government that does not satisfy the international community so that Lebanon can obtain funds from abroad.”
“We do not want a government with a hundred heads that cannot work and produce,” Najm asserted, adding that “in the event of a desire to form a government similar to the current caretaker government, it is better for things to remain as they are today.”
The MP reiterated that “what is needed is a government that produces and advances the economy,” hoping that the other parties would meet them in this proposition, as the Lebanese are no longer able to bear any further delay in solving their daily crises. “How will people continue their lives if subsidies are lifted,” he questioned, calling for “addressing people’s issues, instead of stopping at an additional minister, a third veto power, and the number of cabinet ministers.”
Najm concluded by emphasizing that “without addressing the government dossier, all conversations are worthless.”
