New Prices For The Same Old Bad Service

About an hour ago, We received an email from the ministry of electricity saying that the ministry decide to raise the prices of the power unit provided to the Iraqis. It might be something very normal for everyone in the world but not for Iraqis because of the kind of services the ministry provides.

With the coming of winter, people need more elelectricity to heat water or to use the electric heaters. Most of us in Iraq (Im talking about regular people not officials) have power for four hours a day and you can imagine the crises happening in every house. There is a specific time for bathing and another time for washing thecloths. Every single member in the family should follow the schedule. Breaking the rules means destroying the system which leads the life of the family.

I don't know on which bases the ministry decided to increase the price of the electricity power although it becomes worse day after day but I'm sure increasing the production would be more logical than increasing the prices.
