The appointments in Lebanon “are colored” sectarian and sectarian … 2020: a “presidential stabbing” that overthrew the role of civil service!

These are the appointments that have always been the first challenge of any government. Today, the government of President Nawaf Salam is studying the mechanisms of this “battle” in a special session of the Council of Ministers held in the companies. But according to which assets are appointments?
A while ago, the words of the Secretary -General of “Hezbollah”, Sheikh Naim Qassem, drew when he demanded the appointments according to an exam, after which three names are submitted to choose. What equation governs appointments? And why does every entitlement do multiple mechanisms according to opinions and advice?
From the mechanism of what was previously known as Minister Muhammad Fneish to the proposals of laws submitted in this field, most notably from the “Lebanese Forces”, which law governs the mechanism of appointments? Why are the mechanisms not unified and final?
Until the time, according to the available information, it seems that the peace government will first focus on the role of the Civil Service Council in choosing the most efficient, so that it is presented to it for selection, and the outcome is then removed to the government.
Simply put, in accordance with the law, there is a role for the Civil Service Council specified in the law in 1959, which is “checking the CV of the candidates, and choosing those who have integrity, adequacy and appropriate conditions, and everything that is entrusted with appointing and promoting employees.”
It is also known that the approval of the Council of Ministers on the appointment decrees requires most -thirds of the members. This is the legal mechanism that is supposed to be the entrance for appointments. But over the years, and through more than one experience, the customers and favoritism dominated to recommend another name to another, especially in the centers of the first category, and the competent minister was replacing the civil service council in the process of wrapped, until the role of this council was set, and sometimes he completely disappeared.
Any mechanism of appointments in Lebanon?
July 22, 2020
The Constitutional Council approved the appeal submitted by President Michel Aoun to nullify the law regulating appointments
In May, the House of Representatives approved the law regulating appointments in the first category jobs
More than 45 vacancies in the first category jobs
More than 250 vacant positions in the second and third parts
Between technic and stabbing
In the conclusion, the place of the law resolved mechanisms that were sometimes placed “the doorstep”, the most famous of which was known as the mechanism of Minister Muhammad Fneish, after a ministerial committee formed for this purpose, and a mechanism was raised to the government approved in 2010, but it was soon to be damaged!
In 2020, it was the real junction for appointments. In May, the House of Representatives approved the law of appointment to the first category jobs.
One of the most prominent positive reasons, as stated in its board, was that “the Lebanese experience cannot be described as a successful experience, in terms of applying the standards of sufficiency and specialization.”
The spirituality of the law was based on “the choice of the candidates in a clear and clear way, taking into account the scientific ability, and making way for everyone to apply to the higher jobs, and conducting appointments with the participation of the competent supervisory authorities, that is, the Civil Service Council.”
This was during the era of President Michel Aoun, but the story did not reach its conclusions.
A paradox was recorded when Aoun presented in July 2020, stabbing the Constitutional Council to nullify the law.
In the articles of the law, “strengthening competencies and reducing quotas”, and in the reasons for the appeal, it is based on “the protection of the executive authority and the minister’s authority in his ministry and thus his right to choose the appointment”, so the appeal was given priority to the minister’s authority over the civil service!
On July 22, 2020, the decision of the Constitutional Council came to accept the appeal and topple the appointment law. Thus, the course took place and not everyone agreed on a mechanism. Later, the country entered the presidential vacuum and gathered all the appointments.
The story of appointments in Lebanon “Tettlin” often with sectarian quotas, and even sectarianism and political affiliations, so what experience will be presented by the New Testament?
