Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 46469, member: 636"] Parliament opposition members plan to call utility regulators before lawmakers. The Public Utilities Regulatory Commission announced electricity costs will rise 2.45 percent starting July 1. Opposition politicians say the price hike lacks justification during stable economic conditions. Inflation rates and gas prices have not changed much recently. Energy Committee member George Kwame Aboagye wants commissioners to explain their decision. The opposition demands full details about how regulators calculated the new rates. Aboagye criticized the commission for poor public communication about the increase. He believes families and businesses already face tough financial times. The tariff adjustment will create more hardship for ordinary citizens. Committee leaders will send official invitations to utility commissioners soon. Opposition lawmakers argue that economic data does not support higher electricity bills. Currency exchange rates remain steady across recent months. Natural gas costs have stayed level without major changes. The regulatory commission has not provided clear reasons for the adjustment. Public trust could suffer without proper explanations from officials. The Energy Committee expects to meet with utility regulators within days. Citizens want answers about why their power bills will increase again. Business groups worry about additional operating costs from higher rates. Opposition members refuse to accept the decision without detailed justification. Pressure builds for commissioners to reverse the tariff increase or provide convincing evidence. Parliament oversight duties require transparency from all government agencies. The utility commission must answer questions about rate-setting methods. Opposition politicians represent voters who struggle with rising living costs. Energy Committee sessions will examine the commission's decision-making process. Public hearings may follow if explanations prove insufficient. [/QUOTE]
