Reports: 'Scenario' to Dismiss Bitar, Sack Kordahi
2021-11-16
[An Nahar] A "scenario" is being prepared to dismiss port blast lead investigator Judge Tarek Bitar, MTV said.The TV channel learned that to dismiss Bitar, Prime Minister Najib Miqati is relying on two lawsuits against the state filed by ex-PM Hassan Diab and ex-minister Nouhad al-Mashnouq.
Tradesies? I'll give you a judge for an information minister. That way the thingy with the Saudis goes away, and the investigation into who blew up the port is shuffled off for another day, probably far down the road.
"The government will return to the political stage once Bitar is dismissed and Information Minister George Kordahi is sacked," MTV added.

Sources close to Miqati told the channel that Miqati "won’t chair a Cabinet session as long as Information Minister George Kordahi will read its decisions."
