In line with the law on illicit enrichment, ministers Faysal Rasamni, the Minister of Public Works, and Kamal Shahada, the Minister of Displaced Persons, submitted declarations of their movable and immovable assets at the headquarters of the National Anti-Corruption Authority on Monday, the state-run National News Agency reported in two separate statements.

Rasamni met with Judge Claude Karam in Verdun while Shahada made his declaration in the presence of Commissioner Ali Badran.

This declaration is part of a legal requirement under the law on illicit enrichment, which aims to ensure that public officials do not unjustly accumulate wealth during their tenure in office.

In recent years, Lebanon has faced severe economic crises, including hyperinflation, currency devaluation, and widespread poverty. These crises have been exacerbated by allegations of corruption within the political class, which has led to a lack of trust in government institutions and a loss of confidence from both citizens and international partners.
