Otri: distribution of cash instead of diesel coupons for domestic heating

Prime Minister Mohammed Naji Otri said “The experience of the distribution of vouchers for household heating have proved inadequate,so that the government adopts alternative cash instead, which will be distributed to all families.

 

Otri said in People council session that “the committees are now considering the oil prices go up and down on a daily basis,” noting that “not yet determined the size of the subsidy in cash will be before we see the final result that will be given in oil prices in the next stage.”

 
oil price fell by more than 70% compared to the highest price was in last July when the price of a barrel of oil exceeded the barrier of $ 147.

 
Prime Minister drew attention that “the cash will be paid to every family per year in two waves, first at the beginning of next September.”
