Al-Sadi begins review of fuel tanker deals

The article focused on Lebanese Minister of Energy and Water, Ghazi Zeaiter's announcement of the commencement of an external forensic audit into ship chartering deals for electricity generation and fuel between 2012 and 2017. The goal is to uncover potential suspicions and corruption, as well as to clarify how the country's funds were spent on this matter. The timeline of the audit's steps was outlined, from preparing the terms of reference to issuing the tender and holding the proposal session scheduled for October 2026, emphasizing that this process aims for transparency and accountability. The minister also responded to previous criticisms and reports regarding production costs and cost per kilowatt, affirming that the cost of the ships was higher than some claim and that renting them was more expensive over three years than purchasing them. He called for a fair comparison based on reliable data. Finally, Zeaiter noted that the audit will not be limited to the ships alone but will also include other projects to ensure transparent and accountable management of public finances.
