Pay Electricity Bills Before Government Transactions Under A New Rule
The coordination between the Ministries of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy, and the Ministry of Interior has taken a significant step forward as electronic connection procedures are nearing completion. Informed sources disclosed that citizens will soon be required to settle their dues to the Ministry of Electricity before carrying out transactions related to the Ministry of Interior.
According to sources cited by Al-Jarida, this collaborative effort aims to streamline processes and ensure the timely payment of outstanding bills. The success of a similar initiative, which required expatriates to clear their electricity dues before traveling, resulted in the collection of substantial sums owed over the years, thereby reducing accumulated debts.
Encouraged by this success, the Ministry of Electricity is now actively pursuing practical measures to facilitate the collection of outstanding dues from citizens. To this end, citizens who commit to settling their accumulated amounts in installments will be allowed to proceed with their transactions.
Importantly, officials emphasize that the objective is not to impede the interests of citizens or residents but rather to ensure the collection of long-standing debts. The Ministry’s efforts in this regard have yielded significant results, with total collections for the past fiscal year reaching approximately 500 million dinars, inclusive of associated fees.
However, challenges persist, particularly concerning outstanding debts owed by various government agencies to the Electricity Authority, which amount to around 550 million dinars. As the ministries work together to address these issues, the focus remains on fostering financial accountability and promoting efficient service delivery for the benefit of all stakeholders.
