Hasbani: Any decision trespassing government consensus does not represent state’s sovereign decisions
National News Agency
Deputy Prime Minister, Ghassan Hasbani, on Wednesday stressed that keenness on ministerial solidarity was permanent in light of the existing governmental harmony.


"Any decision or speech outside the government's consensus does not represent the sovereign decisions of the Lebanese state," he told the Voice of Lebanon radio station.

He stressed that the priority of the government was mainly the state budget, which constitutes an input to many files - with electricity being an essential part of it.


"Work is underway in all ministries in terms of preparing files to be submitted to the Council of Ministers," Hasbani added, demanding strict measures against arbitrary state employment which were still happening  despite a law that has banned this option.
