Aoun Signs Decree Appointing OGERO Director-General

W300

President Michel Aoun signed a decree on Tuesday appointing Imad Kreidieh as the director-general of OGERO telecom authority, the state-run National News Agency reported.

Early in January, the cabinet appointed two successors to Abdul Menhem Youssef -- the controversial director general of the OGERO telecom authority who was also serving as director general of investment and maintenance at the telecom ministry.

The cabinet appointed Kreidieh to replace Abdul Menhem Youssef as OGERO chief and Bassel al-Ayyoubi to replace Youssef as director general of investment and maintenance at the telecom ministry.

OGERO Telecom chief Abdul Menhem Youssef was interrogated last year by the Central Inspection Bureau over charges of negligence and embezzlement.

He was summoned by the judiciary and questioned over several issues related to his negligence in preserving public funds in the Internet file and another case related to embezzling money from the employees' salaries under the excuse of the VAT tax.

Connecting all Lebanese territory with ultra speed fiber optic should be government top priority. Ireland significant growth in the past decade was in large due to its fast internet and incentives to international corporations. A fast affordable internet in Lebanon is critical to reviving economy and participating in the global market. Then Lebanese start-ups can literally serve as a cost-effective extension to corporations such as Microsoft, Google, Intel, VR and others. We can't easily fix our roadway infrastructure, however we can in one year upgrade to first class internet and this will be the best investment in our youth.

when aoun signs the decree of an appointee with a questionable judicial record, it clears him of all previous allegations. It is called the aoun-factor.
