Roukoz, Alameh Donate Salaries to Hospitals
Independent MP Chamel Roukoz and Development and Liberation bloc MP Fadi Alameh on Sunday announced that they will donate their salaries and compensations to hospitals as a contribution to the anti-coronavirus fight.
In a tweet, Roukoz said he took his decision “based on the principle of national and humanitarian solidarity,” saying the donation will go to the Bouar state-run hospital.
He also urged all citizens to offer assistance to medical crews, hospitals and “even individuals who want to carry out tests and necessary treatments.”
Alameh for his part hailed the efforts of the employees of the state-run Rafik Hariri University Hospital and said his salary and compensations will go to the employees throughout the duration of the crisis.
Lebanon has so far confirmed 99 coronavirus cases including three deaths, according to a Health Ministry statement issued at noon Sunday.

At least they are doing something--now the other 127 MP's and 19 ministers haven't done anything. Barry and Basil are hiding somewhere and Hariri is probably out of the country.

If only all the thieves that looted the treasury would return the funds, that would be the right thing to do.
