Kanaan: Bogus tax lists behind termination of legislative session

MP Ibrahim Kanaan, chairman of the parliamentary finance and budget committee, said on Monday that the last legislative session was affected by leaks of fake tax lists.  The MP, who held a press conference today, said that throughout the period of debate on the salary scale, no one had expressed reservations about the taxes mentioned, noting that if MPs had changed their minds, then they should have expressed it publically. Kanaan said that approval of the salary grid was suspended at this time, on the pretext of separating the grids related to the military from other public officials.
