Dummy | Dr. Yasser Al-Hussein to "Dama": mobile cameras develop food control and do not address the causes of the high prices.
Details:
Academic and economic expert Dr. Yasser Al-Hussein, in an exclusive interview with Dama News Network, confirmed that mobile cameras are an opportunity to develop the method for managing food control, reduce opportunities for corruption and increase trust between government agencies, traders and consumers.
Al-Hussein explained that the use of cameras achieves three basic gains, including increasing transparency, protecting the rights of the parties to the oversight process, and increasing institutional accountability by providing a documented reference that reduces diligence and personal selectivity.
He explained that the documentation contributes to the reduction of violations through the "deterrent effect of supervision", increasing the possibility of proving violations, controlling price announcements and reducing disputes, and emphasized that cameras in themselves do not lead to lower prices and do not address inflation or an imbalance in supply and demand and production costs.
He called for turning the project into a digital and smart control system based on data and linked to a central system, while developing a legal framework that defines mechanisms for registering and protecting data, and directing tours to the markets most vulnerable to violations based on risk analysis.
He noted that the experiment began in Damascus before expanding to Homs, Idlib and Hama, and explained that the system allows for audio and video documentation, geographic location identification and live broadcasting as a support tool for observers, and emphasized that the main goal is to ensure that the laws are applied fairly and to protect the consumer, the merchant and the observer together.
