Mohamed Ali Khair condemns electricity price hikes
The article discusses criticisms by media figure Mohamed Ali Khair regarding the Egyptian government's decision to significantly raise electricity prices, despite its previous announcement in February 2026 that there would be no price hikes until the end of the year. The government approved a 28% increase in electricity tariffs in April and recently announced an average increase of 12% for some customer brackets. He emphasized that these increases follow a noticeable rise in fuel and diesel prices over seven months, reflecting a crisis of trust between citizens and officials. He urged the need for alternative solutions instead of relying on price hikes that should prioritize the welfare of citizens, and called for a cabinet reshuffle in September to implement changes in economic and social policies.
