Mikati might be part of the old school in Lebanon, but he is a real businessman & made much of his money outside the country. If you *must* stick with the old establishment, he is the most capable of them all.

PS: Mikati is also richer (& more solid businessman) than Trump.

You don't pick the least corrupt one, but the one who understands business enough to *not* block the growing adaptation by industry post #RiadPonzi.

Others are both corrupt & stupid: like parasites that kill their host.
3) The Brazilian Paulo Salim Maluf used to say "rouba mas faz": I steal but deliver.
Pbm in Lebanon isn't parasites & corruption.
It is parasites killing their host! Patronage is worse than corruption.

I would settle for a Maluf over both an incompetent but honest technocrat.
