Prime Minister Najib Miqati on Thursday presided over the fourth meeting of the ministerial committee tasked with drafting the Policy Statement of the new government.

The meeting did not tackle the controversial clause on the U.N.-backed Special Tribunal for Lebanon. However, briefing reporters after the meeting, Information Minister Walid al-Daouq denied that the conferees had decided to leave the issue to the country’s national dialogue committee.

The clause “will be included in the Policy Statement, but we have not started to discuss it yet,” said Daouq, noting that the committee discussed economic and financial clauses.

The minister added that the committee will likely need to hold three or four more meetings to finalize the statement.

Khalass STL is gone with the wind like Clark Gable ..!! Bye bye ya helween and bye bye Mahkama .

The only task of this government after ousting ali baba and his 40 thieves from the Sérail , is to find out who is who , who started corruption in Lebanon , who imported it from KSA ? and who stole the lebanese , their lands at solidere , the tresury , and how the huge debt was spent and on what ... The Audit will tell us the truth , and the judges will give their sentences after WE put those thieves under arrest at Roumieh new wing Jail , as GMA promised them few days ago .
