Justice Minister Mahfouz Saber said the ministry is preparing new draft laws to control price hikes.
“The laws would soon be enacted once approved by Cabinet and by the president,” he said, declining to comment on the nature of those draft laws.
Sources said the Ministers of Planning, Supply, Industry, Trade and Solidarity are formulating proposals in this regard.
They also said Prime Minister Ibrahim Mehleb is keen on this matter to ensure citizens get their rights fully.
