The claim
هل أعطى الدستور اللبناني وزير الأشغال العامة والنقل الصلاحية لإنفاق أموال الوزارة "حسب ما يراه مناسبًا"؟
Original review summary
The review says Article 66 gives the minister responsibility for managing the ministry, including deciding how to spend its appropriations. That authority is not unlimited: the minister must follow government direction and applicable laws and regulations, and may be held accountable for violations.[S1]
Additional context
The review also notes that the Public Procurement Law permits negotiated contracting in emergencies but does not remove subsequent oversight of public spending. [S1]
