Parliament Considers False Data on Power Rates
The article discusses parliamentary criticisms of the government's decisions to raise electricity tariffs in Egypt. MP Ihab Mansour pointed out that the increases have totaled 20.8% over the past two years, followed by an additional 11.9% increase, placing a heavy burden on approximately 90% of citizens from middle and low-income classes. The MP affirmed that the government is ignoring genuine reform tools such as reducing electricity loss and combating theft, instead resorting to unjustified price hikes at a time when citizens are already burdened with financial pressures. This approach continues the government’s repeated hits to citizens’ pockets through reckless and unconsidered decisions. He called for an end to these policies, which he described as a "government of false data," and demanded that the government reverse the price increases and find fundamental solutions to the financial and economic crises.
