Regarding the unlicensed increases in fruits and vegetables, Al-Dabi confirmed that “the allowances are linked to the municipal departments,” noting that “these departments did not take legal measures against these unauthorized increases, which is a failure to perform their work.”
And he added, “Influential people obtained approvals to create bonuses outside the regulations and the law, which greatly affected the official bonuses obtained from the municipal departments,” explaining that “the unofficial premium is trying to reduce prices in order to attract customers and sell as many agricultural products as possible because they do not pay any Taxes to the municipality affiliated to it, unlike the owner of the officially approved allowance, he is obliged to pay sums to the municipality.
Al-Dabi called for “the concerned authorities, including the municipal departments, to move towards these increases and close them, as they constitute a violation of the law.”
