Although the government's good intentions when creating this system But they rely on the Ministry of supply offices in the provinces, which surrounded by suspicions of corruption, to keep the population of each region in the various governorates related to Ministry of   supply office  «grocer », through which issued supply commodities per month, according to the number of registered individuals .
