AMMAN — The Lower House Financial Committee headed by MP Ahmad Safadi has proposed removing the four fils price hike for households consuming 300 kilowatts or less, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported on Wednesday.
Safadi stressed that this recommendation would be better than a previous agreement targeting only households consuming up to160kW in a month. During a meeting held by the committee to discuss the Energy Ministry’s budget in the presence of Energy Minister Saleh Kharabsheh, the MP said that the committee is keen on making any proposals and recommendations that will contribute to reducing financial burdens on citizens and to protect the middle and lower income classes.
Safadi added that the committee is aware of the challenges faced by the Energy Ministry in light of the regional situation.
