Few weeks ago I posted some charts showing Political Parties time in Ministries.
Today I will be looking at Budgets that Political Parties managed in the different Ministries since the year 2000.
Money Vs Time
does it lead to the same results?
Let's find out ??????
1) since the year 2000 FPM and future lead the way.
FPM managed a total budget of $35.4B
Future $32.4B
President Lahoud $15.6B
Amal $11.8B
PSP $11.1B
President Sleiman $8.4B
Tashnag $7.7B
2-Going through the list of Ministries we start with Energy and Water which seems to suck the most out of the government budget.
Without a surprise to anyone FPM leads the way followed by Tashnag.
3-In Telecom also FPM leads the way followed by Independent ministers and Future.
4-In Defense which is usually attributed to the Lebanese presidents.
We see that President Lahoud, FPM, and President Sleiman lead the way.
A note that I didn't differentiate between ministers of President Aoun and ministers of FPM.
5-Education, a ministry which is paramount, Future and PSP had the biggest share with $4.8B and $3.9B respectively.
6-after Prime Minister Hariri's assassination Future had a near monopoly on the Ministry of Interior with Presidents Lahoud and Sleiman 2nd and 3rd.
Future managed a budget of nearly $7B
7-Health, another very important ministry was mostly dominated by amal with a budget of $2.8B
8-Finance was mainly split between Amal and Future both managing budgets around $2.3B
9-Public works and transportation was a ministry with suspicion of huge corruption going on.
PSP topped this ministry with a total budget of $1.8B
10-Labour had Kataeb and FPM at the top with nearly $850M each.
11-Social affairs was topped by the LF followed by Future, Amal, and PSP all between $300M and $550M
12-Foreign Affairs was the share of what was called 8 Mars. FPM, Amal, Hezbollah and President Lahoud had a near monopoly.
13-Minister Safadi had a whopping $1.6B budget in this usually small budget ministry. But he remained in the post for a long time.
14-Ministry of Justice was mostly FPM and Future with LF in 3rd place.
15-Agriculture was split between Amal, Hezbollah, Marada, and PSP.
16-I did not include Culture, Information, Environment, Displaced, and Industry because the budget were extremely small for these ministries.
Only Future had more than $100M in the ministry of culture. everything else was below $100M.
