The Free Patriotic Movement’s political committee held its periodic meeting electronically on Saturday, tackling the latest developments, especially those related to the cabinet formation.

In an issued statement following the meeting, the political committee expressed regret at the method adopted by the Prime Minister-designate in approaching the government formation dossier by taking up precious time to travel outside Lebanon for weeks, only to return and pay a random visit to the President of the Republic, without making any serious proposal that respects the principles and obvious rules applied in any government formation process.

It also expressed concern about the slowdown and uncertainty in the course of the forensic audit into the accounts of the Lebanese Central Bank, being a logical start for auditing all public spending, while affirming that “any government that does not place forensic audit amongst its top priorities will not succeed.”
