Caretaker Finance Minister Ali Hassan Khalil said Tuesday from Ain el-Tineh, that he has not yet signed the "consuls" decrees, which were referred by the Foreign Ministry, noting that he will sign them.
“The previous decrees should also be referred for signature as per the agreement made," he added. "It is not true what was said about connecting the signing of these decrees to those who passed the Civil Service Council’s tests. There is no link whatsoever between the two," he assured.
On the issue of the cabinet, the minister stated that there is nothing new regarding the formation process, pointing out that they are waiting PM-designate Saad Hariri to return to resume discussions.
