Draft laws of economy, health, anti-terrorism waits Egypt's next parliament
Ahmed Ghallab Published in Albawaba on 26 - 11 - 2015

Egypt's political parties are preparing new draft laws to pass in the next parliament amid high hopes to solve several problems concerning Egypt's low economic status and the phenomenon of terrorism.
The laws issued by former president Adly Mansour and President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, will be the first laws to be discussed in the next parliament.
Egyptian former parliamentarian, Ehab Al-Kharrat stressed that there are three packages of laws that the next parliament should discuss as soon as possible, particularly those laws issued during the transitional period under Adly Mansour, and other 50 laws issued in accordance with the articles of the 2014 Constitution. The third group of laws is that related to establishing the principles of social justice in the country.
Besides the parliament will also discuss the anti-terrorism law which was issued after the series of terrorist attacks that hit Egypt in the last period and waits the next Parliament to approve or amend it. Also there are the laws related to the development of the economic conditions, such as the investment law.
The insurance law should top the parliamentary agenda because it needs more study in the parliament as well as increasing pensions, taking into consideration the impact of inflation.
The parliament will also review the tax laws, such as the income tax law, properties tax law, capital gains tax law, which stirred controversy after the Ministry of Finance's decision to apply it on the stock market, Al-Kharrat added.
The parliamentary candidate, Mohamed Abu Hamed pointed out that the health-care system in Egypt needs to be reviewed to provide quality medical service to citizens. The minimum and maximum wage law also needs to be passed by the coming parliament, Abu Hamed added.
Abu Hamed said the parliament will discuss a draft law that establishes anti-corruption commission to control corruption within state sectors and provide reports to the president.
Deputy Chairman of Tagammu Party, Atef Maghawry said that the next parliament should draft laws related to the development of the Egyptian economy, stressing that education, health and housing laws should also top the parliamentary's agenda.
In regard to the health sector, the next parliament must restructure the health system by passing laws that develop hospitals and the medicine system.
For the housing sector, the parliament should ensure the citizens' right to suitable houses and work hard to end the slums phenomenon that spread nationwide.
