Hariri: Government Keen on Restoring Citizens' Confidence

In light of the controversy between political parties over devising a new electoral law for the parliamentary elections, approving a state budget and the long-stalled wage scale, Prime Minister Saad Hariri emerged to appease the people and assured them that the government is keen on restoring the people's confidence.

“As government, we are keen on restoring the people's confidence in the State. Part of this confidence lies in providing services for the benefit of the citizens,” said Hariri from the Grand Serail, during the launch of a tender for the modernization and development of fixed landlines in Lebanon on Friday.

The event was held in the presence of Minister of Telecommunications Jamal Jarrah and General Director of Ogero Imad Kreidieh in addition to senior staff of the ministry.

“I would like to emphasize that what we do is under the guidance of President Michel Aoun who wants to see a quantum leap in the telecommunications sector and in serving the citizens. You know well the extent of our commitment as a government to restore the people's trust, part of which is providing services especially with regard to telecommunications and the internet which has become an essential part of human life today,” concluded Hariri.
