Justice Minister, Salim Jreissati, highlighted the grave burden of Syrian refugees on Lebanon, disclosing that head of the Free Patriotic Movement, Foreign Minister, Jebran Bassil, shall forward soon an advanced plan to the government to address this dossier.

"The plan will be presented in the coming few days, bearing on logical and essential items to address the displaced Syrians' crisis," Minister Jreissati said on Tuesday in the wake of "Change and Reform" bloc weekly meeting.

On the recently approved 2017 state budget issue, the bloc considered that this budget does not exceed the amount to be spent this year, stressing that next year's budget should include Lebanon's future economic vision.

The Bloc called on the economic committee to activate the government's economic vision, pointing out the high cost of corruption.

"Scientific studies confirm that the cost of corruption exceeds billions," bloc said
