Pension problem

The retiree Egyptians after long life of hard working are the most people in need and suffers nowadays. Having a look on the average pension for a person in Egypt, we will find it is roughly 1500 Egyptian pound.

 
And no one can deny that this amount of money before the last wave of the inflation could help the person to live and manage his life even it was little bit tight. Having said that, this amount for the current time barely can be enough for utilities and medicine the old people have to get in that age.
 
I want to call the president and the government to look very seriously to that problem, especially to those who worked very hard and they cant afford their living any more.
 
I dont want to criticize the pension that called” Takafol We Karama”, as I believe this pension is also very important for poor people, but it doesnt make sense that people never work can get up to 700 Egyptian pound which almost have of what a person who worked over 40 years take from his pension.
 
In conclusion, I want to emphasis of solving the problem of the retiree by increasing their pension because its from their right to live comfort after long life of hard work.
