Economic expert Idris Al‑Sharif said via his official Facebook page: “There is no doubt that oversight reports are extremely important in clarifying the picture and documenting existing shortcomings with figures and facts. However, the ordinary citizen does not need many reports or expert opinions to understand the reality and essence of what is happening; it is enough for this citizen to live their daily suffering to grasp the scale of the dysfunction and witness its manifestations.”
He added: “Deteriorating public services, a collapsing currency, eroding incomes, prices that devour purchasing power, a chronic and stifling liquidity crisis, and widespread unemployment in a country that is wealthy and rich in resources.”
He also said: “This suffering and its manifestations are more truthful than all statements and reports, and they clearly reveal that the problem is not a lack of capabilities or resources, but rather severe mismanagement and the absence of a system of good governance.”
Continuing, he stated: “What we are living through today is neither a passing crisis nor an inevitable fate; it is the result of a long trajectory of mismanagement that allowed bodies which have controlled the levers of the state for decades—and still cling to power—to squander public funds and turn them into spoils, while the citizen is left alone to pay the price of this blatant failure in managing affairs and utilizing resources.”
He also added: “The problem is no longer hidden, and its effects are plainly evident in people’s lives. Unless a robust administrative and financial system—based on transparency and accountability—is built (and I believe this will not happen with the existing bodies in place), reports will remain ink on paper, and reality will remain unchanged.”
