The spokesperson of Prime Minister Saad Hariri, Hany Hammoud held a press conference on Friday, whereby he responded to the ongoing campaign launched by media outlets and social media platforms, claiming that Hariri has gave up his prerogative to the director general of the presidency.
Hammoud said that Hariri has signed a decision on the 4th of January 2017, delegating him to carry out some of the duties, not the prerogatives of the prime minister.
Addressing those who organized the campaign, Hammoud said: “Should you wish to launch sectarian campaigns, you must read the Constitution first.”
