Former Minister Wiam Wahhab, head of the Arab Unification party, warned that most of the quantities of fuel entering Lebanon are contaminated and do not undergo serious oversight. In a post on "X" (formerly Twitter), he stated that companies choose which firm inspects them, and that firm sends a clean sample ready for testing without taking a sample from the tanker, while the people's cars pay the price. He questioned where the Ministers of Energy and Economy are.
