Beirut: With Lebanon’s garbage problem resolved, at least on a temporary basis, ministers have turned their attention to other concerns.
On Tuesday, Health Minister Wael Abu Faour asked the prosecutor’s office to launch an investigation into the country’s latest scandal, this one dealing with wheat imports, twenty-four hours after he agreed to form a task force with Minister of Agriculture Akram Shehayeb, and Minister of the Economy Alain Hakim to resolve the problem of imported wheat that apparently was not safe to consume.
Although Shehayeb stressed that samples tested by his inspectors did not include dangerous substances, Abu Faour’s crack team confirmed that their tests taken from Beirut Port showed wheat contained high levels of the carcinogenic ochratoxin substance — 20mg in every 1kg of wheat, or four times the normal levels.
There was no explanation on how the wheat was contaminated with ochratoxin and where these stocks came from.
Meanwhile in London, Interior Minister Nouhad Al Mashnouq met with the UK Secretary of State for International Development Justine Greening, and stressed the importance of tackling Beirut’s airport security, when he returned home.
