Next parliament to be presented with comprehensive government programme: Prime Minister
Egyptian economy suffering, government committed to reducing the deficit and debt, and raising growth rates
Mohamed Ayyad Published in Daily News Egypt on 19 - 09 - 2015

It was agreed with President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi that the government will provide a comprehensive programme regarding its performance and its vision to the next parliament to determine whether or not replaced new government will be formed, said Prime Minister Sherif Ismail.
The Egyptian Constitution stipulates that a new government should be formed once a parliament is elected.
According to the newly-appointed prime minister, the current government will expert its best efforts, as they have a clear mandate from the president to complete all national projects, such as the 1.5m acres reclamation project, and to attract new investments.
Ismail said the Egyptian economy is suffering, noting that they will fight to implement the objectives of reducing the state budget deficit and debt, and achieving better growth rates. The government will adjust prices through the Ministry of Supply, he added.
He noted he met with over 50 new ministerial candidates before choosing the appointed 16.
Regarding parliamentary elections, Ismail said the government is committed to completing the elections honestly and transparently, explaining that the government has short-term and medium-term visions that depend on increasing rates of development and security for citizens.
He said the government requires real, comprehensive and fast development, noting that the government will confront corruption firmly, as there is no place for it in Egypt.
On the selection criteria for new ministers, Ismail said it ensured work efficiency, achievement, and rapid performance, adding that the current phase requires quick solutions. He noted that there is no immediate plan for a governors' reshuffle.
The prime minister further said that the emerging gasoline shortage crisis has already been eliminated, noting that Egypt will receive a new gasification ship by the end of October within Egypt's efforts to import gas and supply it to factories and power plants.
He added that Egypt will not give up its shares to the Nile water, as consultations over the Renaissance Dam are still ongoing.
