Ibrahim 'Succeeds' in Securing Agreement on Ministerial Portfolios
General Security chief Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim has succeeded in securing an agreement concerning all the ministerial portfolios, according to MP Assem Araji – a member of al-Mustaqbal bloc.
Araji said that the economy portfolio will be assigned to a candidate chosen by Prime Minister-designate Najib Miqati.
The social affairs and energy portfolios will meanwhile be allocated to President Michel Aoun’s camp.
The finance portfolio will be allotted to a nominee chosen by Speaker Nabih Berri while the telecommunications portfolio will be part of the Marada Movement share.
Araji expected the government to be formed in a short time while noting that “the devil might be in the details.”

How the hell can the Aoun backed candidates still get the Energy Ministry? They have driven the country to the middle ages and they get to keep that portfolio? Hiding the ppaer trail of their graft?

@Cedaris,yiu are spot on.
The Aoun / FPM club have control over Energy portfolio since many years. It's absolutely unacceptable that they can get again the Energy portfolio, after they have clearly proven that they are doing a very bad job with the Electricity supply for the country.

A major suspect in the port explosion is facilitating government formation and acting as a 'mediator'. That is Lebanon!
