(MENAFN) The Lebanese information minister said that the Lebanese government will declare the solution to fix tax issue, by funding the public-sector.
According to the National News Agency, Information Minister Melhem Riachy said: "The atmosphere is very positive and tomorrow we will announce the legal measures to deal with the matter of the (public sector pay rise) and the tax law,"
The constitutional council has raised legal objections, but Al Hariri's government is still hoping to approve the suggested fund, to supply the pay rise.
Many public sector employees have started a strike due to the cancellation of the tax law by the council, which the parliament had already approved.
