FEI’s bakeries division wants to cut moochers a break

The Federation of Egyptian Industries’ bakeries division is working on a proposal mimicking the golden card system that would allow citizens without a subsidy card to receive subsidized bread, division head Abdallah Ghorab said, Al Shorouk reports. For the uninitiated: golden cards were used by bakeries to tally distribution of subsidized bread to Egyptians who are eligible for bread subsidies but do not have permanent subsidy cards. Supply Minister Ali El Moselhy had argued that these cards left the entire system vulnerable to fraud.
