Egyptian government’s electricity tariff increase draws criticism from Al‑Tajamu’ Party

The Al‑Tajamu’ Party, led by Senator Sid Abdel Al, issued a statement condemning the Egyptian government’s recent decision to raise household electricity tariffs. The party says the hike is part of a series of price increases for services, fees and basic goods that are driving inflation and adding financial pressure on millions of citizens.

The party argues the policy reflects compliance with International Monetary Fund‑prescribed reforms, accusing the government of abandoning market regulation and allowing monopolistic practices. It calls for an immediate reversal of the tariff increase, a halt to further price hikes, a comprehensive review of the economic programme and accountability for officials responsible for the “failed” economic policies.
