Youchka, I don't think murr will get it!!!! The opposition wont accept and michel sleimen wont be willing to open a battle with FPM and HA for the sake of murr...It's gonna be someone accepted by both the loyalists and the opposition.

He should be re-instated as Minister.

-Ministry of justice : to judge every single person who should be judged for any illegal act he did whoever he is, or his dad is.
-Ministry of Economy : to implement laws to boost economic growth, encourage people to create innovative entreprise in lebanon, to create more jobs, to act againt inflation and to try to stop the price increase and so on in order to reach a greater level of life...
-Ministry of Interior or Defense if the first ma7soubé 3al president




If they think we will accept only ministeries like ministry of tourism (even though it is important but there is more important issue to solve before) or wazir dawlé, they are just dreaming... Mich jeyin na3mol siyeha, jeyin n2asses balad...

You mean the Ministry of Environment? (i) Is this a pressing issue? (ii) If yes, would it not be better to put a technocrat here rather than a partisan?

I'd like Fouad Boutros to be Interior Ministry from the President's share
I prefer FPM having Defence or Justice or Finance ministries rather than the interior ministry which should be given to an independant mind that isn't running (directly or indirectly)

[Zouxi]

i think that FPM should ask for ministry of defense.

[shadow1]

Ministry of Justice with any luck.

[Libnene Qu7]

Ministry of Corruption Removal...

No. sustainable development is much more than just environment -specially environment a la lebanese which included planting a few trees per year and cleaning the beach once a year--, hence my comment.

(i) yes it is a pressing issue, we lebanese have been destroying our natural environment without any serious short,mid and long term plannings that we cannot afford to lose any more time.
(ii) it is not necessary to have a technocrat. But rather A competent and qualified candidate beit partisan or not. simple common sense
And this rule should apply to all the gov portfolios.

FYI, I fully agree that it is a huge issue. I'm a bit of an environmentalist myself!

Now, the reason I started point (ii) was that I'm not sure that whoever will eventually fill this post will be an expert on environment, but that it will probably be one of the last posts filled by one of the 'less important' figures, and the available candidates will therefore be limited...

I think it should be filled by an expert, someone with proven experience and knowledge on the subject, but I don't think it will happen unless such a person can be found with a political affiliation strong enough to satisfy one of the big parties.

As for the suggestions above, FPM's principles would make it fit nicely into for example Justice, yes. :)
