Speaker Nabih Berri threatened to question the Lebanese cabinet?s performance if it does not issue relevant decrees to put in action the oil exploration bill, which was approved by parliament in 2010.
?I will call on the parliament to convene and carry out its role in questioning [the cabinet?s performance], even if the parties concerned are my allies and friends,? Berri said in an interview with As-Safir newspaper published on Tuesday.
He added that ?Prime Minister Najib Mikati and Energy Minister Gebran Bassil voiced commitment to issue the decrees [to implement the oil projects].?
?I will not allow this commitment to be broken,? the speaker said.
?Cyprus and Israel began the procedures to launch oil exploration while we keep wasting time? I will no longer bear this issue.?
Lebanese Parliament in August 2010 passed an oil exploration bill, which calls for the establishment of a treasury and a committee to oversee exploration and drilling off Lebanon?s coast.
