Two days ago, the Minister of Internal Trade and Consumer Protection, Amr Salem, hinted at raising the price of domestic and industrial gas, in order to make it more available than it is now, especially with the winter season, he said.
Salem said in a post on his personal account on “Facebook” and monitored by “hashtag”, that the ministry reached several sources of gas that is sold on the open market at fantastic prices through numbers, names and police records.
