“The Lebanese people are still waiting for an actual translation of any step to end the waste of public funds and restore the state's money and property, which belongs to the people,” tweeted Liberation and Development bloc member, MP Kassem Hashem on Sunday.

He added: “Days after the Discriminatory Attorney General’s indication that the state has placed its hold on these properties with all their facilities, to invest them in the interest of the country, especially after the deadlines permitted by law have expired, doesn't this step deserve to be followed-up and translated as a step on the path of a thousand miles to return the stolen money, and to save our homeland from the financial and economic collapse?”
