Prior to the session, some minister commented on the events that took place on Thursday regarding the pay scale, where Youth and Sports Minister Mohammad Fneish said that the circulation of rumors concerning non-existent taxes is not an innocent act, adding that those who are not supporting the pay scale could be aiming at hindering it.

 

For his part, Telecommunications Minister Jamal al-Jarrah held the Kataeb responsible for the yesterday’s events.

 

In turn, Industry Minister Hussein Hajj Hassan stressed the need to pass the pay scale and guarantee the revenues without affecting the poor people, emphasizing the need to put an end to corruption and waste of public funds.

 

Culture Minister Ghattas Khoury hoped that the discussions over the budget draft law will be done over with during the session.

 

Economy Minister Raed Khoury noted that his ministry issued a statement whereby it warned against raising the prices of goods, after some supermarkets did so.
