Aoun urges new govt. or adding 6 'political' ministers to caretaker cabinet
President Michel Aoun on Tuesday stressed “the need to exert every effort to form a new government.”
He added, in a meeting with a delegation from the Economic Committees, that the alternative would be to “bolster the current government with six new state ministers who would be politicians.”
“This was proposed by the PM-designate in the beginning, in light of the absence of politicians in the current government, but then the stance changed,” Aoun lamented.
He also hoped that “the achievement of the demarcation of the southern maritime border and the extraction of gas from Lebanon’s territorial waters would take Lebanon into a phase of promising hope.”

He also wants to fill the positions with his lackeys, so trying to stay in power beyond his term. He and his followers have single-handedly bankrupted this country financially and morally and left us with ZERO electricity, ZERO economy, and a little more the Zero for getting the country back on track.
He had his chance to show leadership after October 2109 and all he managed to say was "if you don't like it, then leave". That will be his legacy.
