Cabinet Holds Last Session as Aoun Asks PM to 'Brief Lebanese on Achievements'

President Michel Aoun said the Cabinet convenes in a final session on Monday before it turns into a caretaker government by midnight, as he asked PM Saad Hariri to prepare a report briefing the Lebanese on the government’s accomplishments.

Aoun’s remarks came during a Cabinet convention which he chaired at Baabda Palace.

“After midnight this government turns into a caretaker as per the Lebanese Constitution, and I thank PM Hariri and Ministers for their work. I hope everyone would focus on the livelihood means during the caretaker phase,” said Aoun.

The President said the government made a lot of achievements “best of which were an agreement on oil extraction, devising an electoral law in addition to staging the parliamentary elections and approving the State’s budget.”

The President asked Hariri to “prepare a report briefing the Lebanese on the accomplishments made by the government during its term.”
