Report: No Controversial Files on Wednesday’s Cabinet Agenda
The cabinet is set to convene Wednesday afternoon to tackle several pending issues on its agenda but it does not include the controversial file of the State Security agency, An Nahar daily reported.
The cabinet's agenda includes 65 items and 116 draft-laws. It will not discuss the file of the State Security agency until Prime Minister Tammam Salam, who was tasked with finding a solution to the leadership rift between the agency’s chief and his deputy, concludes his mission.
Ministers will discuss the means to supply the encampments of the Syrian refugees with power after it was reported that it is costing Lebanon some $400 million dollars in electricity expenses, ministerial sources told the daily on condition of anonymity.
Last week, the cabinet discussed a suggestion that was brought up by the Energy Ministry to install electricity meters in the Syrian encampments in a bid to trim down illegal connections on power cables, which is burdening the Lebanese treasury with significant costs.
However the suggestion was not approved by Labor Minister Sejaan Qazzi.
