Finance Committee, Mustaqbal Bloc in Parliament Showdown

W300

The Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc has said that alleged attempts by the March 8 forces to call to task former finance ministers are a “media and a political advertisement."

The bloc’s sources told An Nahar daily in remarks published Sunday that they “haven’t seen in the history of constitutions or parliaments in the world that a parliamentary committee has held accountable former ministers.”

Their remark came amid reports that parliament’s finance committee, that is headed by Change and Reform bloc MP Ibrahim Kenaan, is readying itself on Monday and Tuesday to hold the ministers accountable over alleged waste.

The committee’s invitation is “totally rejected,” they said.

When asked by Voice of Lebanon radio station about the issue, former Finance Minister Jihad Azour said: “The finance committee’s main task should be to develop laws and implement reforms.”

During his tenure, all finances and the management of funds were accurate, he said.
