Berri still insisting on Hamadeh and Mansouri
Cabinet will convene Friday at the Grand Serail to discuss an agenda of 17 articles, while the judicial and financial appointments are still hinging on the conditions of Speaker Nabih Berri, media reports said.
“Berri is still insisting on the appointment of Zaher Hamadeh as financial prosecutor and will not back down. He is also insisting on Wassim Mansouri for the post of Central Bank vice governor,” Al-Jadeed TV reported.
“Take whatever you want and give me Mansouri and Hamadeh,” the TV network quoted Berri as saying.
Governmental sources meanwhile said that “if Berri maintains his stance, the relevant ministers might raise the file in Cabinet, which would lead to a vote as happened in the appointment of the central bank governor, or they would settle for voicing their reservations or objections and having them registered in the minutes of meeting.”

Is Lebanon supposed to be a democracy when the Speaker of Parliament can threaten the Cabinet regardinbg the appointment of senior officials?
Isn't it about time that the Speaker of Parliament is put in his place and informed that his position, as in every other democracy around the world, is simply to deal with matters within Parliament and not on matters which are being dealt with at a higher level, by the Cabinet or President.

BERRI DEAN OF POLITICAL MAFIA FOR DUMMIES
1. CURSE ON TEHRAN: In 2010 Iranian reformers demonstrated in mass against Iran tyrants asking for same freedom & democracy of Lebanese Shia. A third of most educated Iranians joined Green Revolution. Almost succeeded until stabbed in the back by Obama & Berri who sided with Basij (Hizb bosses) that massacred thousands & would’ve killed Imam Saddr if alive.
2. CURSE ON LEBANON: Lebanon GNP was $65 Billions. Should be today over $300B (not current $18B) considering regional advantages we had in education, banking & free innovative system. Shia would’ve have higher standard of living than Saudi helping turning Lebanon into New Singapore. All changed after HizbIran occupation with Berri blessing causing exodus of foreign firms, isolation, misery, devaluation, banking crisis & indoctrination.
3. CURSE ON DOWNTOWN BEIRUT: closing parliament for 2 years to block international court.
4. CURSE ON SOUTH: for being puppet of Hizb wars
