Izitimela Zase-Estonia Zizokwenyuka Izintengo Zamathikithi Zifike Ku-10%

The Estonian uhulumeni uhlose ukukhuphula imali yokugibela izitimela ngamaphesenti afinyelela kwayi-10 ngonyaka ozayo, njengoba kwasho uNgqongqoshe uMadis Kallas. Uhulumeni wayichitha inketho yokukhuphula uxhaso ukuze kugcinwe amanani akhona amathikithi.

UNgqongqoshe uKallas uthumele isiphakamiso sokugunyazwa esiphakamisa ukukhushulwa kwezindleko zethikithi lendawo eyodwa ukusuka ku-€1.60 kuya ku-€1.80, ngokusho kwesitatimende somnyango.

Ukwengeza, amanani okugibela amathikithi anqamula izindawo eziningi azokhuphuka cishe ngamaphesenti ayi-10. Lokhu kulungiswa kwentengo okuhlongozwayo kuhlelelwe ukuthi kuqale ukusebenza kusukela ngoJanuwari 1, 2024.

UNgqongqoshe uKallas ukuqinisekisile ukuthi imali yokugibela ngeke idlule kumaphesenti ayishumi. Uveze ukuthi lokhu kukhuphuka kudalwa yi-Estonian Railways ehlela ukunyusa imali yengqalasizinda kanye nokukhuphuka kwezinye izindleko ezifana nezindleko zokushisisa nezisebenzi.

UKallas wachaza ukuthi lezi zici zenze kudingeke ukuba abagibeli bezitimela banikele ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nengxenye yalezi zindleko ezikhuphukile.

Umthelela olindelwe wezintengo zamathikithi amasha ukukhuphuka kwemali elinganiselwa ku-€3.5 million ngo-2024.

Ungqongqoshe uthe ukucutshungulwa nokuchitha umbono wokuthi umbuso ubhekele ukunyuswa kwemali yokugibela kuyingxenye yohlelo. Njengoba uxhaso seluvele lungaphezu kwama-euro ayizigidi ezingu-30 ngonyaka, izimali zibekelwe kokubili Elron sika kanye ne-Estonian Railways ukuze kuthuthukiswe ingqalasizinda.

U-Kallas ubalule ucwaningo olubonisa ukuthi ukugibela imali yokugibela akufanele kuvimbe abagibeli noma kubangele abantu abambalwa abasebenzisa izitimela. Ubalule ukuhlaziya okwenziwe, wagcizelela ukuthi ukunyuka kwemali yokugibela kunqanyuliwe ukuze kugwenywe imiphumela emibi.

I-Elron, inkampani ephethe izitimela eziphethwe nguhulumeni, ihlose ukwenyuka kwesibalo sabagibeli ngamaphesenti ayi-8 ngonyaka ozayo, okuzokhombisa abagibeli ababalelwa ezigidini eziyi-8.

Izinhlelo zokukhulisa umthamo sezimi ngomumo, ngokwethulwa kwezitimela ezintsha ekupheleni kuka-2024.

Ukwengeza, ungqongqoshe ugcizelele ukuthi ukuyekiswa kwezinsiza zamabhasi zamahhala kubantu abadala emizileni ethile kusukela ngoJanuwari 8 kungase kube nomthelela omuhle ezinambeni zabagibeli bezitimela.
