Salah Boushi, a member of the State of Law Coalition, confirmed on Sunday that the delay in completing the cabinet is no longer a technical or procedural matter, but rather a direct result of political disagreements over several ministries and candidates. This has led to the continued vacancy of ministerial posts despite the passage of time since the government’s formation.
Boushi told Al-Maalouma that “the responsibility for this delay cannot be attributed to a single person or entity. It begins with the political forces that have not finalized their agreements and extends to the parties that impose conditions or objections not based on competence and the public interest, as well as the Parliament if it fails to translate political agreements into a constitutional entitlement through a vote.”
He added that “the Prime Minister, in turn, bears the responsibility of exercising his powers to select the most competent and capable individuals to manage the ministries and to prevent the government formation process from becoming an open-ended political bargaining process.” He emphasized that “the government is not an arena for distributing political favors, and ministerial positions are not prizes for disputes between political forces, but rather responsibilities that require ministers capable of managing state institutions and serving the citizens.”
Bushi pointed out that “the rule of law does not support obstructing the work of the government, but rather supports the formation of a strong and capable government that can make decisions.” He explained that “objections to any candidate must be clear and based on political, legal, or professional grounds, and should not be used as a pretext to keep the ministry vacant and paralyze the work of the government institution.”
He continued, “The current stage requires decisive action instead of perpetuating disputes, because the continued vacancy of the ministry weakens the government’s performance and limits its ability to implement its program and provide services to citizens.” He noted that “the question is no longer about who gets the ministry, but rather who bears the responsibility for keeping it vacant, because obstructing the formation of the government does not serve any party; rather, it weakens the state and makes the citizen bear the cost of the political dispute.”
