Berri Blasts 'Time Wasting' on Govt., Decries Power Ships, Generators
Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri on Friday warned over the “wasting of time” in the government formation process as he urged a comprehensive solution for the country's chronic power generation crisis.
Speaking at an AMAL Movement rally at the UNESCO Palace in Beirut, Berri criticized officials who are “abandoning responsibility for the country, paralyzing the state and undermining what's left of the economy.”
“We will not accept the continued wasting of time and the delay in building the executive authority through the formation of a government,” Berri added.
He accordingly called for “containing the situation, making up for the wasted time, addressing the garbage crisis and building national capabilities to resolve the electricity file with utmost speed.”
“Producing electric power is the state's responsibility and so is the collection of fees,” Berri added.
“We want drastic solutions that do not depend on rented power generation ship nor on the traps of (private) generators,” the Speaker went on to say.
