1/ When a government mandated to reform #Lebanon out of its current abyss is seen to order one of the countryās only independent oversight bodies to submit to it, you know itās time to speak out. #right2info
2/ On 1 Oct PM @Najib_Mikati's office ordered @CInspectionLB to stop "sending [info] requests to public administrations, institutions & municipalities [ā¦] unless such requests are processed through the President of the Council of Ministers & follow his directives.ā #right2info 
3/ For an organisation tasked by Decree Law 115/1959 to map the public sector and identify areas ripe for reform, thatās equivalent to demanding @CInspectionLB do its job blindfolded, or under the thumb of the government. #right2info
1/ Recent attempts by high-level political forces to undermine @CInspectionLB & prevent it from carrying out independent oversight of the state are both legally unsound and ahistorical. The law clearly mandates CI to oversee and inspect the performance of the state. #right2info
2/ The above circular is a dangerous attack on independent #oversight, demanding that @CInspectionLB submit to the executive branch when requesting information on the public sector. CI is legally entitled to review any state document needed to oversee public admins #right2info
3/No sustainable reform to the public sector can be made without mapping each institutionās fundamentals. @CInspectionLB has been collecting this information since 1959. But the regime is pushing back as CI moves toward transparent digital inspections thru @impact_gov #right2info

The Public Servant who is the CEO of the Nev Power commission says he doesn't know which Departments the Commission's manufacturing taskforce has been speaking with. Other than the department for fossil fuels, of course. #auspol #oversight

The CEO of the COVID Commission is unable to describe when and how its documents will become cabinet in confidence.

What's important is that until now, much of the data about staffing in nursing homes was self-reported, which could be biased.
This issue came to light initially thanks to a 2017 @nytimes piece that had a great interactive.

But the study finds that staffing of all nursing staff spiked around the time when inspections happened, which again, could skew the data.
