Minister of Interior Raya El Hassan joins us for Episode 7 of The Beirut Banyan, and we cover a wide range of issues under her portfolio.
From traffic safety to a women's inability to independently pass her nationality; from the applicability of civil marriage law to the capabilities of internal investigations. The challenges and constrains of Lebanese state sovereignty are discussed at length.
Raya El Hassan was the first female Lebanese Minister of Finance (a post she held from 2009 - 2011). She is the first female Lebanese and Arab Minister of Interior.
