إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Lebanon’s ministries of interior, energy and economy stressed on Tuesday that efforts will be “coordinated” and electricity meters will be installed next year to prevent “fraud” by private generator owners.

In a joint press conference on the recent crisis, Interior Minister Nouhad al-Mashnouq said the main goal was to “protect the rights of consumers. Our mission as interior ministry is to back each step made by each of the ministries mainly the economy and energy.”

Economy Minister Raed Khoury said the State is “decisive. We have decided to cooperate with all relevant ministries to implement decisions of the ministry of economy with regard to installing electricity meters to prevent fraud by generator owners.”

Khoury stressed: “We are not running in a confrontation with anyone, our main goal is to implement the law.”

“We are determined to implement decisions taken regarding the crisis. We are dealing with this issue from a legal angle to protect the Lebanese citizen,” Energy Minister Cesar Abi Khalil said.

Private generator owners have threatened to cut their services after a government memo said electricity meters will be installed to follow on energy consumption each subscriber is using.

" its time the Lebanese people came to accept they are the real problem and not these opportunist they voted in."

You couldn't have said it better.

I have a final interview at a Foreign Embassy in two weeks for obtaining an immigrant visa. I already passed the first two stages and I am keeping my fingers crossed. I cannot wait to get out of here.

Entouré de personnes ignorantes ou stupides, un individu doté d'un maigre savoir ou d'une maigre intelligence passe pour un génie. C’est ce groupe d’individus qu’ Ado Asutralien affectionne, pas de chance pour Lui, il n’est pas sur Tayyar Orangina Room.

Whatever you do, do not, I repeat DO NOT give any generators names that could offend you know who, because they will riot, burn tires, and bring back a battle they lost 1300 years ago. Luckily, Short and Curly, the mini Bassil, will immediately give put his little grey cell to work and come up with fresh as hell new name.

Dear aduleh:

Complain all you want... all of your complaints are sectarian or political.
