The Tunisian parliament will soon meet in a plenary session to discuss the issue of public domains in Meknassi, Sidi Bouzid governorate, in the central part of the country, Shems Fm reports.

“On the initiative of the Sidi Bouzid governorate, the session will focus on the State domain issue in Meknassi. The meeting aims to grant ownership of land used by farmers for decades. They are being used by cooperatives and limited liability companies,” the media revealed.

At the end of March, this year, the State secretary in charge of public domains and land affairs, Mabrouk Korchid, had announced that those who have been occupying state domains for more than 30 years will be granted ownership of the properties.
