Electricity Draft Law Tests Cabinet Unity

Here's a hint: Why don't you start collecting Electricity Bills from Dahie to the South... and their dues from the past 30 years...this way, you will be able to build 2 new Electrical stations!

Aoun and fellow puppets will be billionaires soon

ahla ahla fik!
Well, I prefer my same old broken record to your lame old broken one! ;)

Dahiyeh , Rouweisset el Matn, Britel are under-populated regions with only about one million two thousands residents. They are resisting Israel and should not pay electricity fees; they even should not allow any official to request electricity fees from them. Better to make compromises othwerise they will place bombs in public places to save their rights.

Here are a couple of things to be considered.

a. Every paying subscriber should have 24/7 electricity. So the institution should provide the service, whether they like it or not.

b. None paying subscribers should be banned. This is not a political matter, but a basic need, irrespective of party. But Lebanese political parties have turned it into a political matter for self interest and not national interest.

c. Not only should the issue of electricity be tackled, but also water and all the generators on the streets that provide power to people and has turned into a large business for man.

Lebanon has been out of war for 20 years now and the living conditions are that of progressive nations (developing) when in reality it should have been resolved 15 years ago.

Mr Patriot a I will allow myself to dive into your brain it will painless and quick:
Dahieh= Shiaa the we all agree that Shia are Lebanese . So Lebanese Shiaa are not paying for Electricite du liban. Of Course these people since they are not paying in Dahieh than definitely there are not paying in Bekaa and the South right? In this case the Lebanese Shia are behind the electricity dilemma right? Mr Patriotic you have selected an accused certain population of your Lebanese compatriot. Mr Patriot do you have any data, statistics, official report that can back up your accusations? I’ve read many reports that explain the chronic electricity problem .I can assure you the problem is more complicated than you can, obviously, think…
Based on this simple examination I can tell you that you are diagnosed with the LSM (Lebanese Sectarian Monkeys) …You are extremely stereotypical, irresponsible and irrational. Mr Patriotic you need to work on defining yourself first....
Cheers

Everybody was stealing during the syrian era, in coordination and harmony. Lahoud, El Murr, Frangieh, Jumblat, Nabih Barreh...
Fool who beleives that Hariri was the only one robbing and the only reponsible of our debts. The state was like a cake subdivised in parts (electricity, fuel, majlis el jnoub, telecom, sukleen, port....) and each minister was granted a part of the cake, under the benediction of the Syrians. So stop blaming Hariri as the unique responsible of the financial situation.
Nabih Barreh was not looking as a simple spectator on Hariri stoling. He was voracious like a predator and protecting one million residents from paying their electricity bills. Since 40 years he is contributing in the destruction of our democracy by being a mercenary under the orders of any ennemy of Lebanon.

The Government announced a comprehensive reform program for the power sector
at the Paris III conference in January, 2007. This program has enjoyed a broad consensus
since it is based firmly on the 2002 Electricity Law and was designed by the pre-
November 2006 coalition government (whose Minister of Energy and Water at the time
was from Hizbollah), and approved by Cabinet in July 2006 just before the outbreak of
hostilities with Israel.

Oh noooo... someone is impersonating pong lenis! Pong Lenis is a fake!!!

lenis will "rise" again soon… but under a new name!

Oh and by the way, anyone heard of green energy? Why is Lebanon spending so much money on old school energy?

"striking EDL [Electricite de Lebanon] workers published some 40 names, including powerful Parliamentary Speaker Nabih Berri, as well as state bodies, hospitals and private firms, who had failed to pay overdue bills."
"About half of EDL subscribers, mainly in impoverished areas of southern and northern Lebanon, are known not to pay their electric bills."

Keep barking Mr Brain...less!

Supply continues to be insufficient of
demand, back-up generation is as a result widespread throughout Lebanon, and over 30%8 of produced electricity is not billed.

@ Mr brain(less)

According to official sources, almost 60% of EDL bills are not collected. In addition, close to 50% of electricity generated by EDL is not even billed; it is estimated that tens of thousands of people receive free electricity by illegally tapping into power lines. Back in 2003, then Beirut MP Muhammad Qabbani, who headed the parliamentary Energy and Water Committee, stated that many of those who get free electricity enjoy "political protection." In the southern suburbs of Beirut--a stronghold of Hezbollah--over 80% of electricity consumers do not pay. Those who do not enjoy such political protection, on the other hand, are forced to pay heavily for electricity.

@Mowaten
Uncollected is something...unbilled is something else!
We are talking about billions and billions over the last 30 years!

As usual same old crap Mowaten, how about the more than 10 billion $ your Master Hassouni put us throught of destructions during 2006 war that he ignited in coordination with the zionists ? everybody knows that Hezbollah is not far from beeing an Israeli collaborator, and an Iranian scheme maker in the region.

Protecting the north of Israel from Palestinians since 82, giving the US congress a reason to give 3 billion $ a year to Israel for weapons, kidnapping 2 DRUZE soldiers in 2006 not even JEW,( of it clicks in your mind it might have been planned in advance by the two parties),cease-fire and we have 15000 new foreign soldiers, and Israel got what they wanted, no peace just even calmer border, igniting sunni-shiite tensions in Lebanon, Bahrain, supporting Assad regime because Israel favors it too, finding as Sayyed Hassouni said several Mossad and CIA spies inside Hezbollah,you should see through this that Hezb is clearly a zionist-syrian-iranian agent of chaos, think about it

Electricity should've been the #1 priority since the early 90s. Without it you can't advance. How can companies have confidence to expand or to invest if it's unclear if they can guarantee the power will be on 24/7!! What Hariri and gang couldn't do with >$55BILLION is now being done with $1billion....AND THEY DON'T LIKE IT!! who's gona pay their royalties if the private MOTEURS get shut down!!

Let Hezbollah/Iran/Syria pay for this. Afterall, the 2006 war they caused cost us $13 billions. not to mention the crappy image now Lebanon has that damages business.

As you can all see, the corrupt March 14 care only about power and not the country. A glorious day when the corrupt scum, Rafik Hariri, was murdered!

@Someone
What exactly does March 14 have to do with this??
It is your (stupid) people who dissagree amongst them...
March 14 had a plan, it was voted, the energy minister at the time was Hezbollah, and the M8 MP's blocked the implementation...(see link in one on my posts above)
You know why?? Because this will trigger a huge survey that will show and prove who has not been paying his bills for the last few decades..
Mark my words, wait and see...
