Egypt’s President appoints 13 ministers this week

Cairo, The Gulf Observer: Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi reshuffled his Cabinet and sent it Parliament for approval on Saturday, appointing 13 new ministers. He also thanked all the ministers who completed their tenure and wished the newly appointed ministers success in their new posts.

“I called on the House of Representatives to convene today to discuss the amendment of several ministerial portfolios after consulting with the prime minister,” Al-Sisi said in a statement.

“This decision to reshuffle was made to develop the government’s performance in some important files at the internal and external levels, which contributes to protecting the interests and capabilities of the state and directly affects the services provided to the Egyptian citizen,” the president added.

Egypt’s Parliament convened in an extraordinary session on Saturday and approved a cabinet reshuffle including 13 new ministers for the industry, education, emigration, health, irrigation, manpower, and public business ministries.
