Bassil asked.. and the answer is $40 billion worth of waste and corruption

It has been said, that a failure always holds others the responsibility of his failure, especially if he is concerned with public affair, so how can this politician, who headed the Ministry of energy for 12 years, hold others the responsibility of his failure?

A small review of the head of the Free Patriotic Movement’s procession, shows us that it is full of failure, he inherited politics from the General because of their kinship, he was appointed a leader for the Tayyar, even through formal elections, and obstructed the formation of governments because of his insistence on assuming major portfolios such as energy, communications and foreign affairs

He failed twice in the parliamentary elections, and after a great effort due to election law, he became a deputy for Batroun’s seat, and headed a parliamentary bloc of 24 deputies after a number of deputies resigned from his bloc.

Today, Bassil is throwing accusations randomly, thinking that the Lebanese have a lost memory, as if they do not know who plunged their country into darkness, due to his Ministries failed policies, which continued with the taking over of his advisors Cesar Abi Khalil, Nada Bustani, and Raymond Ghajar.

Wait a minure Prince of Darkness, son-in-law of the fallen covenant, if there was a state that holds accounts, we would have seen you behind bars as a result of the waste and losses you caused to the Ministry of Energy and emptied the state treasury.

We in return say to Bassil, is the one who squander reserve dollars and spent them without reforming anything in the electricity sector, no network repair, no smart meters, no endowment for infringement, no collection and no firms.

We know that he who, is the one who wasted more than 50% of the fuel in production and distribution to worn out networks, and old factories.

Whoever has plunged us into darkness, Basil, was the one who refused Kuwaiti funding to solve the electricity problem through the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development and the Arab Fund for Social Economic Development, provided that these funds are supervised and monitored.

You are the creator of darkness, Basil. You are the one who did not listen to international advice the plans of IMF. You are the one who owns the diesel “cartel” that set up a local black market.

After this failure, the Lebanese have the right to ask Basil, “Our story with electricity, is like the story of who comes first”, no matter what we do, the result will always be corruption and. Is it conceivable that a country emerged from war more than 30 years ago, and still unable to restore the electricity statues of 50 years ago? electricity to what it was 50 years ago?”

Is it possible for an entire people to accept that their resources are stolen under their eyes and put under a public debt of about 100 billion dollars, half of which was consumed by electricity?
