Harb urges political forces to exit trade bazaar over ministerial portfolios

Outgoing minister of Telecommunications Boutros Harb hoped “the political forces would exit the trade bazaar over ministerial portfolios,” urging them to remember that the ministries are to serve the state and the community not to achieve electoral profits.

Harb words came during his patronage to the “Free Connected Mind” conference organized by May Chidiac Institution on Sarturday at Phoenicia hotel in Beirut.

Harb hoped the new cabinet would soon be formed, wishing to have the right competent person in the right place.

Harb said that Lebanon’s interest should be above the interest of all parties and persons, hoping all political parties would cooperate “despite our political differences in opinion” to develop Lebanon and protect the institutions.
