Lebanon today »Priority appointments in the new government … and the request to adopt the mechanism to the forefront

What awaits the new government as soon as it is formed a number of files that require a consensus on the timing of its discussion and then quickly.

Once the first government sessions are launched, basic issues are supposed to be included on its agenda, perhaps the most prominent of which are appointments and filling vacancies in the first category jobs.
In this context, the information indicates that the urgent appointments will split its path, especially for the army commander, the ruler of the Bank of Lebanon and the Director General of Public Security, as well as other centers, which fall within the desired reform process and worship the way for the process of returning confidence in Lebanon.
Some appointments may be subject to rotation in light of President Aoun’s talk about this particular point. The question is dealt with how this file is seated, and is there a specific mechanism, as in the past a dispute over how the appointments were passed within the cabinet and ministers objected to the imposition and decline in ready names or submitted them on the day of the session.

Here, political circles for Lebanon 24 indicate that any prospective appointments will be subject to specific criteria and take into account the assets in force, especially if they are from the first category. The constitution rules, and it is clear that the President of the Republic will apply this matter in its entirety, relying on the text of the laws, and if the appointment requires an explicit mechanism, the issue is taught, especially if it serves appointments far from the customers. The sources indicate that a dispute had previously been on the issue of the mechanism, and the Constitutional Council responded to the review of former President Michel Aoun and invalidated the appointment mechanism law for violating the constitution, as he was included in his reading.

These circles say that the Lebanese Forces Party is one of the most prominent supporters of this mechanism and has fought battles for it in the previous era, and today it is demanding its approval as a reform step and gives those with competence an opportunity to take the required position away from the logic of quotas and partisan or political loyalty, considering that the head of the Executive Board of the Lebanese Forces Dr. Samir Geagea reaffirmed the mechanism, which is a requirement that will not be waived and will be discussed in a timely manner.
According to these sources, there are assets in a number of appointments of the required centers, there is a sectarian balance, nominations, the role of the Civil Service Council, the good self -biographies, the competencies and integrity, and it is expected that the President of the Republic will have a specific and harmonious orientation with the Prime Minister and not separate from the integrated vision on the necessity of returning departments work And the necessary structure away from the recruitment of patronage for a decade.

It may be too early to talk about the option that is resorted to in appointments, whether through a mechanism or another principle, but the basis remains the appointment of the right man in the right place.
