Justice Minister Ahmed el Zend on Saturday said the government would present a package of important bills in its statement before the House of Representatives.

In statements, Zend added that the package would include bills related to the nuclear plants, regulations of possessing lands in Sinai, whistle-blower protection, the River Nile, marine navigation, along with amendments to investment, industrial development, community development and youth and sports laws.

Bills on the National Media Council, the Union of Journalists, the media personnel syndicate and the press law will be also presented, Zend said.
