Parliament General Secretariat Hits Back at U.N. Coordinator
Parliament’s General Secretariat on Monday responded to remarks voiced by U.N. Special Coordinator for Lebanon Jan Kubis.
“We do not need lessons in legislation and we have never legislated behind closed doors,” the General Secretariat said in a statement.
Kubis had earlier tweeted that “anti-corruption laws need to be discussed by the Parliament in full transparency, not behind closed doors.”
“Draft laws need to be accessible to public for comments in a truly inclusive way, not only to few selected ones,” he added.

what elections? you mean to say buying votes at discounted prices... What Mr Kubis needs to do is hold all funding, loans, grants and any money going to Lebanon until such time as the anti corruption laws are made public and also the looted funds returned and the crooks held accountable...

Legislation is useless without implementation and enforcement, so it doesn't turn into '7akee fadee'.

Start with Article 24 of the Constitution that reserves half the legislative seats for Christians. That in itself is a banner advertisement for ineffective government.
