Je manque de billes là-dessus, mais ça n’est certainement pas l’Orient-Le Jour qui risque d’apporter un éclairage intéressant. Trois articles sur la collecte des déchets par les municipalités, et pas un mot sur la société Sukleen, ça ne va certainement pas mener bien loin.
Voir par exemple cet article de novembre dernier :

While few would contest the quality of the service, the renewal of Sukleen’s contract with the Lebanese government has been at the core of a cabinet row over how much the Lebanese state should pay for its services. If March 14 ministers had their way, they would renew the contract without questioning it, but March 8 opposition ministers asked to see it before signing it.
Currently, the terms of the deal between Sukeleen and the government are secret, as are the fees the company charges, despite the fact that they are paid from public money. Both opposition ministers and NGO workers who advocate for transparency find the situation unacceptable.
“It’s not only the Sukleen contract, it’s the principle of access to information, to disclose all contracts with companies in Lebanon and outside Lebanon linked to fields that affect our lives,” Yehya Hakim, managing director of the Lebanese Association for Transparency, told NOW Lebanon. He also stressed that in Lebanon the law does not oblige the authorities to disclose expenditures to the public.
Rumor has it that Sukleen’s services are some of the most expensive in the world, but few people in Lebanon know for sure how much it costs to clean Beirut’s streets.
