Abboud: Mikati must place government productivity in his priority

Tourism Minister Fadi Abboud told Voice of Lebanon that Prime Minister Najib Mikati should place the productivity of the Cabinet in his top priorities but he praised the positive atmosphere which prevailed in the past few hours. He assured that there are indications that the Cabinet intends to become more productive. "It is time for administrative appointments and drilling for oil and it's time for the government to be productive." He also commented on the security incidents in Tripoli and other areas in Lebanon. "The army should be more decisive and this intervention should not be a subject of debate." As for the invitation for dialogue, Abboud said there are several new proposals on this issue such as the calls of MP Michel Aoun, March 14 forces and Hezbollah's secretary general Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah. "Maybe it's time to set the stage for a new formula to run the country," hoping that the representation in the dialogue will be acceptable.
