Why did the 2 arrogant officials decide to play with the #DaylightSavingTime

1- Awarding the airport project by mutual consent disregarding the Public Procurement Law prepared by @IOFLebanon & passed by the Parliament June 2021
/1 This law is one of the main laws demanded internationally, particularly in the context of the negotiations with the International Monetary Fund that ends previous corrupt practices.
2- Obstructing negotiations with @IMFNews since 2020 Despite the urgency

#Lebanon
URGENT call : @MawlawiBassam
1• A circular to all Lebanese governorates should be issued to conduct a survey on exact number of displaced Syrians & announce it officially.
2• Ask @UN to locate a safe area in the 185,180 km² area of #Syria to return the displaced
/1 to their country,
3• The safe area can be under the @UN supervision. They can take care of the displaced social, medical and education needs and keep their communities safe from violence and harm,
4• @UNHCRLebanon @Refugees must listen to the country hosting the displaced

A Special Salute to #SaharFares on International Women's Day!
Aug4, 2020 at 17:55 @beirutfirebriga received a call alerting them of a fire at port of Beirut.

#علم_الفساد عند الطبقة الحاكمة في لبنان؛
1- لا تكن وحدك, فالفساد عمل جماعي يتطلب مشاركة الفاسدين وتوثيق الصلة بهم
2- ابحث عن الرجال الذي يقال عنهم إنهم فوق القانون واشتر شراكتهم بغالي الاثمان، فهؤلاء يعلمونك مهارات لايمتلكها غيرهم فيختصرون عليك الزمن في صعود سلم الفساد المفيد
/1 3- ترتكب خطأً جسيماً إذا كانت قطعتك من 'الكعكة' أكبر من قطعة من هو أعلى منك، فقسمة كعكة الفاسدين لا تكون بالتساوي.
4- كن كريماً واجعل شعارك "ربي ارزقني وارزق مني" ففتات الفساد الذي توزعه على الفاسدين الصغار سيشجعهم لاتباعك لاحقاً وطلب المزيد من الكاتو
