Speaker Nabih Berri stressed Wednesday that the committees are called for finalizing their agendas, mainly the 2020 draft budget, noting that it is important that the Lebanese do not lose hope in their country.
MP Ali Bazzi quoted Berri during Wednesday’s deputies gathering as expressing surprise over the failure of the resigned cabinet to perform its duties, adding that the speaker also called for returning the funds transferred abroad into the Lebanese banks.
“The financial situation can improve in the presence of the a cabinet, we only have weeks, not months,” Berri was cited as saying.
