And so, they’re again.
The identical incompetent, bloodthirsty warlords that haven’t spared our lives throughout the Civil Conflict, or our hard-earned financial savings in recent times. To blindly assume that they may miraculously change their behaviors and habits as a result of the citizens gave them a slap on the wrist by voting in 12 anti-establishment figures is an absolute stupidity, bordering on lunacy.
At this freshly elected Parliament’s inaugural session, we watched on as MP Nabih Berri was reelected as Speaker for the seventh time; an individual that represents the unhappy actuality of a nation having been disadvantaged, by six earlier assemblies, of change, reforms, and progressive pondering
A Parliament of dynamism, reforms, and can to progress is the determined hope of Lebanon. A reformist chamber would give us the power wanted to overcome all of the chal- lenges and limitations bestowed upon us by those self same elected, and now re-elected, rep- resentatives who’ve mismanaged, wasted, and stolen years and a long time of our laborious work, dedication, and monetary (and emotional) stability.
However let it’s clear that the reelection of lots of the standard names and a lot of the similar political teams doesn’t give them license to waste and steal. The voters who pro- vided them with renewed legitimacy bear the duty to carry them accountable for squandering folks’s cash. It will likely be the ultimate wreck of Lebanon if the folks and the me- dia will dodge this duty, thus permitting politicians to renew their implementation of extractive methods that can subsequently tax our now meager earnings, and proceed to exploit and sabotage Lebanon’s state-owned enterprises (SOEs). Govt Journal has all the time advocated for the correct restructuring of our SOEs, and embedding a great govern- ance precept to help in creating worth, development, and wealth. We supply on with this mission on this situation by inspecting the efficiency of the telecommunications sector.
Sadly, now we have been disenchanted repeatedly in our hopes and possibilities for well-run establishments that ship inexpensive and environment friendly public companies. However we won’t surrender the struggle for a greater public economic system and for a greater state. In the meantime, the non-public sector is taking daring measures to interrupt away from its isolation, and constructing their capacities for funding, effectivity, and development. The launch of the Lebanese Personal Sector Community (LPSN), by which I participated, is a manifestation of the need and readi- ness of the non-public sector to hunt for long-term earnings and stability, whereas defending all what stays of excellent values.
This entrepreneurial spirit will as soon as once more break this mould of isolation, and emerge because the driving pressure in the direction of a striving, and forward-thinking Lebanon.
