No Major Appointments for Now Except for Renewal of Salameh’s Mandate

The cabinet of Premier Najib Miqati is not expected to take decisions on major appointments in state institutions except for the renewal of Central Bank governor Riyad Salameh’s mandate, ministerial sources said.

The sources told An Nahar daily published Friday that the renewal of Salameh for a fourth term will be made as soon as the government receives parliament’s vote of confidence.

The cabinet’s avoidance of an immediate green light to appointments rises from Miqati’s decision to stay clear of actions that would be seen as vengeful against the March 14 forces, the sources said.

Miqati has decided to contain crises that have recently risen between March 8 and 14 officials in some ministries over basic administrative and social posts, they added.
