Aoun Urges Exposing Those Monopolizing Medicine, Baby Milk and Fuel
President Michel Aoun on Tuesday called on military, security and judicial agencies to “deal transparently with citizens as to the outcome of the raids on the warehouses of medicine, foodstuffs and gas stations.”
“In order to restore their confidence in the state and all its agencies and institutions, the Lebanese have the right to know the real culprits behind the monopoly of medicine, baby milk and medical supplies… They also have the right to know those who hoarded fuel and whether they have been arrested,” Aoun added.
Urging security agencies to “inform citizens of the fate of the confiscated material,” the President promised that he “will not hesitate to put all facts at the disposal of the public opinion so that it does not fall prey to rumors and fake news, and so that they know the truth of those insisting on their unethical and inhumane practices.”
Aoun also pledged that the fight against corruption “will not stop no matter how much pressures and blackmail intensify,” noting that the judiciary has an “essential and necessary” responsibility as to pursuing “monopolists, corrupts and violators” so that they “get the punishment that they deserve.”
