The statements by George Adwan, a deputy of the Strong Republic Bloc, call on the Lebanese government to focus on the ongoing economic crisis and to alleviate the burden on citizens through concrete measures. He urges that the costs of delaying electricity payments, amounting to around $280 million, should not be borne by the citizens. He proposes implementing a sliding tariff system and increasing electricity supply hours to reduce reliance on generators and achieve financial savings estimated at hundreds of millions of dollars annually. He also emphasizes the necessity for the state to bear the cost of the owed exemptions and affirms that electricity is a service, not a tax. The solution, according to him, is to address the government's deficit swiftly and responsibly, without placing the burden on the citizens.
