[An Nahar] Mustaqbal bloc MP Ghazi Youssef urged on Tuesday President Michel Suleiman to intervene in halting Caretaker Telecommunications Minister Charbel Nahhas' "violations" at the ministry.

He added: "Nahhas, who resigned on television, immediately started taking illegal decisions and measures that are not linked to his jurisdiction as a caretaker minister."
"Nahhas led a militia-style landing from his office on the third floor at the ministry, through an gang of his bodyguards, to the first floor of the ministry where the general directorate of investments office is located," the MP revealed.
"With the help of his militia, he broke into the offices to execute an illegal decision he had made the day he resigned," Youssef said.
The decision called for appointing four employees close to Nahhas, a matter the general director had opposed.
"Nahhas had made the general director take a forced leave of absence in order to execute his suspicious plans," the MP stated. |
