Cairo, March 22 (MENA) – Minister of Housing, Mostafa Madbouli called upon construction companies engaged in projects in the new city of El Alamein to speed up implementation rates, since construction was behind schedule. "The 15 towers that are being implemented in New Alamein will be the city's icon that will make the biggest shift in the construction process", Madbouli said at a meeting with the developers. He said that the ministry will not accept any delay, especially since there is no reason for it. Madbouli stressed that the ministry was committed to paying all the dues to the construction companies. The Minister added that the companies which fail to cope with implementation rates on various sites will be replaced by other contractors.
