A dozen activists affiliated with the We Want Accountability movement held a sit-in Saturday outside the Auditing Department in Beirut's Hamra area, calling for corrupt officials to be held accountable.
""This is within the duties of the Auditing Department. If supervising bodies played their role properly, the country wouldn't have reached this situation,"" activist lawyer Wassef Harakeh told MTV.
He revealed that the group will ""soon hold a news conference to name the corrupt officials"" and shame them.
Harakeh called on officials to assume their responsibilities regarding the spending of money from the state's treasury and dealing with public finances.
""There is theft but no accountability...if they are incapable they should let us know. Be honest,"" he said.
The lawyer added that the group has no priorities except ""various files and crises that should be resolved...we will tackle each matter in the future.""
Protesters outside the Auditing Department waved the Lebanese flags and held banners denouncing corruption.
