      i think this man is just taking advantage of the situation…whatever happens he is known to be the “zalameh” of Berri so it won’t get any further. my guess here is he is playing his rol as putting pressure on Mikati in order to get more pay dow his pocket while looking like he actually cares about the labourers.
