The Ministry of Trade denied on Thursday the validity of the news circulating about replacing food ration card items with cash amounts. A statement from the ministry said that “what has been circulated by some news sites and social media pages regarding a proposal from the Council of Ministers to replace food ration card items with a cash amount of (100) thousand dinars per month for each individual is completely false.”
The ministry confirmed, according to the statement, that “this news is false and is not based on any official decision or directive, stressing that what is published in this regard does not represent the position of the government or the Ministry of Trade.”
She also explained that “work is continuing to implement the food supply program and provide citizens with food items according to the approved plans and programs within the framework of the government’s commitment to supporting food security and providing basic materials to citizens.”
The ministry called on “media outlets and social media pages to be accurate and professional in reporting the news, to rely on official government sources, and not to circulate undocumented information that could cause confusion and anxiety among citizens.”
