AAH channel says Fayyad faces escalatory measures over PMF Commission

WHAT HAPPENED

Across roughly thirty minutes on the evening of 22 August, AAH's official channel Al-Ahad TV carried four separate cards from Sadiqoun MP Safaa al-Jabri on the programme #سياسي_الابعاد accusing PMF Commission chairman Falih al-Fayyad of refusing twice to appear before parliament, of spending billions each election to build an electoral list and win ministries, and of turning the PMF Commission into a political institution. Al-Jabri said escalatory measures would follow and that the scenario of removing the head of the Investment Commission could be repeated, adding that his bloc would not submit to internal or external pressure against passage of the PMF law. The rung rests on repeated, quoted attribution on the faction's own official outlet; no response from Fayyad or from any other faction appears in the collected window.

    Fayyad attacked political forces in an unacceptable and rejected manner... Fayyad 'lost the confrontation'... Fayyad refused to clarify, limited himself to media appearances, and has begun turning the PMF Commission into a political institution

    الفياض تعرض لقوى سياسية بشكل غير مقبول ومرفوض... الفياض "خسر المواجهة"... الفياض رفض التوضيح واكتفى بالظهور الاعلامي وبدأ يحول هيئة الحشد الى مؤسسة سياسية

    Fayyad spends billions every election so that he has a list and obtains ministries — there will be escalatory measures against Fayyad, and the scenario of toppling the head of the Investment Commission may be repeated — we will not submit to any external or internal pressure to prevent passage of the PMF law

    الفياض يصرف المليارات كل انتخابات لكي تكون له قائمة ويتحصل على وزارات - ستكون هناك اجراءات تصعيدية ضد الفياض وقد يعاد سيناريو الاطاحة برئيس هيئة الاستثمار - لن نخضع لأي ضغوطات خارجية او داخلية لمنع اقرار قانون الحشد الشعبي

    Fayyad's failure to attend parliament constitutes a challenge to and a diminution of the legislative institution

    عدم حضور الفياض الى البرلمان يعد تحديا وانتقاصا من المؤسسة التشريعية

WHY IT MATTERS

A named parliamentary bloc is publicly threatening removal proceedings against the head of the institution that formally houses the armed factions, and doing so on its parent faction's own screen rather than through parliament first.
