Hariri Talking 'Electricity, Arab Investments' in His Foreign Tour
Prime Minister-designate Saad Hariri is continuing the foreign tour that started in the UAE and later included Turkey and Egypt, a media report said on Sunday.
“Hariri’s stances have not changed and the idea of giving up the (government) formation mission is not currently on the table,” Center House sources told the al-Anbaa news portal of the Progressive Socialist Party.
“His Arab and regional tours are focused on Lebanon and on securing financial, economic and medical assistance to the country,” the sources said.
Informed political sources meanwhile told al-Anbaa that on his current tour, Hariri is discussing Lebanon’s electricity crisis and the possibility of bringing Saudi investments to Lebanon.
The PM-designate is exploring “means to help Lebanon rescue this ailing sector and to pull the country out of darkness and out of the hefty cost that the Lebanese are incurring as a result of sever power rationing and the hike in generators bill,” the sources added.
He is also seeking to “open a channel between Lebanon and the Arab countries, specifically the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” while attempting to “encourage investments in Lebanon and the investment of the Lebanese in Arab countries,” the sources went on to say.
“Hariri’s choice is still to form a mission-driven government that would assume the mission of rescuing Lebanon,” the sources added.
“Despite all the obstacles he has faced, Hariri is insisting on (the mission-driven government) because is it the only choice to rescue the country,” the sources stated, adding that Hariri “realizes that stepping down would further complicate things and end any ray of hope for the state’s rise -- something that he does not want.”

أملك البنزين والمال... لكن كيف أشتري الدواء لابنتي؟ (فيديو)
اقدم احد المواطنين على وضع سيارته في منتصف الطريق عند اشارة عزمي في طرابلس احتجاجاً على عدم العثور على الدواء لابنته المريضة.
وقال المواطن بصرخة وجع انه لديه سيارة وبنزين ومال ولكنه لا يستطيع ان يوقر الدواء لابنته المريضة بسبب فقدانه من الاسواق محملاً المسؤولية للدولة.

Mr. Hariri, with all due respect, have not you been a prime minister for more than one term? Why didn't you bring us electricity 24/24? Please don't tell me that Basil didn't let you! Do you remember the sharing of hush money between you and Basil to keep the Turkish ships and stop Lebanon from having electricity fulltime? Do you not recognize giving all the public works to Mr. Al Arab, who recently decided to stop his activities in Lebanon, after he realized that Lebanon has become bankrupt because of his activities? Mr. Hariri, you were the boss for more than 8 years, could you please tell us one of your achievements? I don't see any. I do honestly believe that you reek honesty; but your actions and past achievements say another story; one of failure on all levels. So, please lessen your tours because you simply don't have what it takes to save Lebanon in this crisis.

We don't need Iranian terrorists from Iran to infest the forum and tell us where investment should come from.
