Geagea Calls on Cabinet to Resign, Urges Formation of a Technocrat Government
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea criticized on Thursday the performance of the cabinet, calling on its members to resign and urging the formation of a technocrat government.
“Any member of this cabinet that respects himself should submit his resignation,” Geagea said during a press conference in Maarab.
He said that the government members don’t have a unified plan but to “topple” former Prime Minister Saad Hariri’s cabinet.
The Lebanese Forces and its allies in the March 14 coalition have accused the Hizbullah-led March 8 forces of toppling Hariri’s government last year and appointing Miqati as premier.
“They criticized our cabinet tenure for making payments from outside the state-budget but the parliament wasn’t holding any sessions at the time. Now they allow themselves to do the same,” Geagea said.
He urged the formation of a technocrat government, saying that it would “deal with the people’s daily issues.”
The LF leader stated that the Lebanese citizens are paying the price of a one-sided cabinet which President Michel Suleiman has criticized over its bad performance.
In January, Suleiman said the government has “limited productivity.”
The cabinet session, held at the Baabda Palace on Wednesday, witnessed a heated debate over the controversial issue of appointing top civil servants, as the President suspended the session upon Prime Minister Najib Miqati’s request.
Miqati revealed that he will not call for any new sessions until all the thorny issues were resolved.

Suspending sessions until all thronny issues are resolved is wrong, just like when Berri suspended the parlaiment sessions. But the FPM did not object to Berri's action back then, they were supporting it.
A Technocrat Government is the answer.... as long as it is blind to all party affiliations and the focus is appointing the most qualified to deal with the mountain of issues in every ministry.

Who is this punk? He needs to be in jail, where did he get all the money from to build his mansion. Now he wants to guide the country. Country of thieves and stupid citizens. I have no idea why they need a government in Lebanon. It runs on its own.

Let me paraphrase his statement before I read it.
Geagea is the epitome, the true expression of the whole in a part, the "sole organ" of the Christians of Lebanon (he is worth the rest of them rolled up together) even as the Christians of Lebanon are the epitome, true expression, and "sole organ" of the people of Lebanon. Really, the rest of the people of Lebanon are superfluous. Geagea by himself is Lebanon.
Maybe I'll skip reading it. Yeah.

All the Lebanese politicians have blood on their hands directly or indirectly . At least geagea is one of the very few that has adjusted to democratic thinking and is treating the Lebanese like intelligent human beings and not a bunch of lemmings with guns.

Geagea makes the most scene's of all the current leaders ...and before the M8's get their panties all knotted up. I do not belong to LF or M14, it is just that he is on a better track then any of the others.
All the shit talk about the past, war is fucked up ...and all party's involved did terrible things, and in the so called time of peace other groups are still committing atrocities (let's be blunt about this, I am talking about the Big "H" ... Hezbollah ). Geagea did not run off to France, he did not sell out to the Syrians, he went to prison.
Geagea speaks rationally. He is not ranting like a an imbecile (Aoun) ...or spitting out the same old crap, the Zionist this and the Zionist that, and we will never give up our weapons because of the Zionist (the truth is and every body knows it, they need their weapons to control the Lebanese).

Technocrat a great idea but don't you think again the parties will each one brings his own fellow as long as the parliament chose them? Even a government employer we are unable to replace with all this political conflicts...not a bad idea though but difficult to implement...
