BEIRUT, Aug. 13 (Xinhua) -- Owners of private generators in Lebanon will submit a claim against Caretaker Economy Minister Raed Khoury for accusing them of taking advantage of people by increasing the prices of their services, local media reported Monday.

"We want to know if there is a personal issue between the minister and owners of private generators," said Abdo Saade, head of the Syndicate of private generators owners, as quoted by Elnashra, an independent online newspaper.

Saade said that owners of private generators are committing to the new prices set by the ministry and only 5 percent are violating the law.

Lebanese government insisted Tuesday on regulating private generators business after the sector refused to lower its prices to the level set by the Energy Ministry amid energy shortage in the country.

Authorities will regulate the sector by installing meters to private generators to measure the exact consumption of electricity in order to determine the exact prices that should be paid by citizens.

Some of the owners of private generators voiced their objection to the Energy Ministry's decision to reduce their prices, prompting the economy minister to warn them of facing imprisonment if they do not comply with the new laws.

Khoury has earlier accused owners of private generators of taking advantage of Lebanese citizens by increasing their prices in a random way.
