Hariri Vows to Back Miqati, Suggests Suspending Immunity Articles for All Officials
Ex-PM Saad Hariri on Tuesday pledged to support PM-designate Najib Miqati in the mission of forming a new government, as he defended al-Mustaqbal bloc over the uproar related to the lifting of parliamentary immunities in the port blast case.
“Together with al-Mustaqbal bloc, I have tasked myself with securing the requirements of success for PM-designate Najib Miqati and we’ll back him in his steps,” said Hariri at a press conference that followed a meeting for his bloc.
“We want to know who brought the ammonium nitrate,” Hariri said.
“The port blast reminded us of February 14 (2005),” the ex-PM added, referring to the explosion that killed ex-PM Rafik Hariri – his father.
“Al-Mustaqbal bloc paid in blood on the path to truth and justice,” he said.
Commenting on the petition signed by several blocs, including Mustaqbal, for referring the issue of immunities to the Council for the Trial of Presidents and Ministers, Hariri said: “When we called for an international probe with the aim of dropping all immunities, they stood against us and accused us of treachery.”
He added that his bloc will submit a proposal for “suspending all constitutional articles that grant immunity to all presidents, ministers, MPs, officials, judges and even lawyers.”

Thanks Mr. Galaxy, but with all due respect I'd rather see him occasionally in the Seychelles or Maldives for a romantic action packed getaway. As long as those wire transfers keep coming I am happy.

Didn't your MP bloc just voted to refuse to lift immunity? What a loser.

Hariri is messing up everything. He should realize that his ability to govern, let alone being able to represent the people, is very weak. He simply doesn't have the ability to discern things properly and is plunging the country into unwarranted troubles. My advice for him is to retire and use what's left of his life on earth somewhere else and enjoy his billions. You tried and failed and now is the time for capable people to run this poor country.
