Shakshak, addressing Dbeibeh: “Decisions to manage the telecommunications sector revenues are illegal and the government is not allowed to dispose of them outside the framework of the general budget”

Today, Wednesday, the Undersecretary of the Audit Bureau, Ala El-Din Al-Masallati, confirmed to our source that the President of the Audit Bureau, Khaled Shakshak, addressed the Prime Minister of the National Unity Government, Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh regarding the legitimacy of his disposition of the funds of the telecommunications sector.

In his correspondence with the Prime Minister, Shakshak stressed that the profits of public companies are considered sovereign resources that may not be disposed of, except within the framework of the general budget in accordance with the limitations.

While the head of the Audit Bureau demanded Dbeibeh to follow the correct legal ways to finance its expenses through the budget or additional appropriations or emergency financial arrangements without going beyond them, indicating that the government should adopt rational policies in the management and use of public money that are based on sound sustainable development foundations and to take the path of reform and justice in its actions in a way that contributes to addressing the financial and economic distortions that the country suffers from and which threatens to collapse if it continues in unthoughtful ways to take such decisions.
