Firing of a senior female official on corruption grounds

30-1-2018

Al Akhbar newspaper today reported a decision by the Supreme Disciplinary Board to dismiss a female employee, the head of the Department for Classified Establishments in Mount Lebanon closely connected with the Governor. The employee whose name Al Akhbar did not reveal has been referred to the disciplinary more than 10 years ago, but has stayed in her position pending the final decision. The decision of dismissal was prompted by the continued acts of commissioning (samsara) run by her brother-in-law where both parties were profiting. In the details, Al Akhbar said the brother-in-law of the employee was constantly seen at the door of her office and became practically an employee facilitating illicit services through connecting the customers with the imprint of the head of the department and taking his share from each commission procedure. Suh services included: licensing gas stations, factories, farms, quarries etc… against the laws in effect. The said employee, according to Al Akhbar, is not the only dishonest member of staff in the public sector, revealing that in the majority of cases, employees are rarely referred to the disciplinary board unless they lack the political immunity. To close, the newspaper disclosed that MP Wiam Wahhab has volunteered to defend the employee threatening the Disciplinary Board headed by Marwan Abud. (Al Akhbar, January 30, 2018)
