When will the government implement cash support instead of supplies, which groups are eligible for the new support, which groups are excluded, and how to deliver the support in its new form.. We will learn all of this with you in this video, so stay with us until the end.
Many Egyptians are now looking for the new cash support, which was announced by the Ministry of Supply and said that it will contribute to the support reaching those who deserve it and will miss the opportunity for anyone who is not deserving. Indeed, people are very interested in this issue, especially after the statements of the Minister of Supply yesterday, about the structure of the support system.
We can say that the Ministry of Supply intends to switch to cash support instead of in-kind support, meaning that instead of food supplies, you will take money in its place and buy what you want, but there are many benefits that will accrue to the citizen and the state from implementing the new cash support.
The first advantage of cash support is ensuring that the citizen obtains his rights and reducing the chances of corruption associated with the distribution of in-kind goods. This means that, as we said, you will receive the money you are entitled to, and this will prevent any chance for unscrupulous people to sell goods, tamper with, or delay in delivering them to citizens.
I wonder if the government will implement cash support?
Look, sir, the Minister of Supply, Dr. Sherif Farouk, confirmed that they are very interested in delivering support to those who deserve it, and that in the language of numbers, the value of the large support that the state directs to citizens exceeds 636 billion pounds, while support for goods and bread exceeds 135 billion pounds, after it was 63 billion pounds borne. The state is in the teams to provide catering goods, and this means that the state will never lift its hands from the support it provides to the citizen. She has great determination that the support reaches those who deserve it.
The Minister revealed that the new support system will be implemented after completing all technical matters, statistics and reviews, determining the eligible groups and how to deliver the cash support.
We can say that the per capita share, in the event of switching from in-kind support to cash support, will be 175 pounds per month, including bread and food supplies, and with the beginning of the new budget for the year 2025, we will begin the first step in implementing this system at the level.
But before canceling the ration cards, we can say that there are categories that will not receive this cash support, namely every head of a family whose electricity consumption exceeds 1,000 kilowatts, and also those who pay a high mobile bill of more than 600 pounds per month.
Also, the average school fees for more than one child is 20 thousand pounds. Add to this the owners of agricultural holdings of more than 10 acres or more, and those who pay taxes of 100 thousand pounds or more, and also the owners of companies with capital of 10 million pounds or more, and those who have a car model 2017 or higher, and current thieves. The electrician, as well as trespassers on agricultural lands and state lands.
In the end, we can say that one of the benefits of switching to cash support is reducing the chances of corruption associated with the distribution of goods, which means there will be justice, and the state will also ensure that aid reaches the deserving groups directly.
In addition to all of this, cash support will contribute to improving the quality of services provided to citizens and raising the standard of living, and all of this will reflect positively on the life of the citizen and the Egyptian economy.
