The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has once again postponed a meeting of the executive government that was expected to address the price of electricity and the issue of last month’s salaries.
According to reports, the delay signals a lack of willingness by the ruling government to make a final decision on the matter. The meeting, which had been anticipated to bring clarity on electricity tariffs amid widespread public criticism, did not take place as scheduled.
Latest data indicates that under the current pricing plan being considered by the executive government, each kilowatt of electricity would cost around 200 Iraqi dinars. This could result in monthly electricity bills exceeding 200,000 dinars for many households—an amount seen by many as unaffordable.
The continued postponement has sparked growing public frustration and raised questions about the government's commitment to easing the financial burden on citizens, especially in light of high electricity prices and delayed salary payments.
