sanction markets for tripling prices and taking advantage of the Coronavirus
We want to put a stop to this price raising and taking advantage of the current epidemic of the Coronavirus.
The government needs to put laws against this behavior. Either they bring prices back to normal or get fined.
This situation is affecting single mothers, people on law income and the elderly who can't afford to shop for their basic essential due to tripping prices and the money or benefits they get will not cover these rising prices. Which will leave vulnerable people without the means to live on due to these ridiculous prices why have been confronted with. And there is no law to stop them doing this.
The main prices are for meat and chicken from halal arab. and Asian markets
