People don't have money, food prices are growing, and here the government wants to raise electricity tariffs: MP

AKIPRESS.COM - The situation in the economy is extremely negative, food prices remain high, but wages are not growing, pensions are not growing in the near future, said MP Dastan Bekeshev during the parliament session on Wednesday.
Amid growing prices for food, the government is planning to raise electricity tariffs and fare prices. "What else does the government plan to do in the near future if people's pockets are going to be empty?" he asked.
First Deputy Prime Minister Artem Novikov responded a government plan has been developed to develop production and to create more jobs by the end of 2021.
"It is clear, you will not solve this issue, even the MPs are not interested in listening to you. The president is responsible for all this, let's see how he will solve this issue. I hope you'll tell the president that people don't have money," the MP added interrupting the first deputy prime minister.
