The Cairo Chamber of Commerce is calling on the government to impose a curfew on shops and restaurants as a means of curbing electricity consumption, in a ludicrous proposal that reminds us a whole lot of a similar measure from 2012. Chamber head Ibrahim El Araby suggests all venues should be forced to close shop for the night at midnight, with the exception of those that are necessary for citizens’ lives, Al Masry Al Youm reports. We can easily see the argument being made that the shisha place down the street and a favorite bar count as necessary.
