Senator Urges Supply Ministry to Counter Rumors With Greater Transparency

Senator Nour El-Din Mostafa has called on Egypt’s Ministry of Supply and Internal Trade to adopt a clear institutional framework for transparency and proactive disclosure, arguing that gaps in official information fuel rumors.

The Senate member urged the ministry to issue regular official statements as part of a structured approach to keeping the public informed.

His appeal linked access to reliable information with the ministry’s responsibility to oversee markets, questioning how effective market regulation can be when information is absent.

The proposal puts the emphasis on proactive communication rather than leaving an information vacuum in which rumors can spread. Mostafa called for disclosure to become an established institutional practice.
