Legal advisor of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood (MB) Ahmed Abou Baraka today criticized statements made by Ehab al-Kholi, one of the founders of the Reform and Development Party, during a seminar held on Tuesday by the Al-Ahram Center for Strategic Studies. “We have billions of pounds and no one has the right to interfere in this matter,” said Baraka, indicating that al-Kholi's inquiries into the MB's finances were inappropriate. Baraka also denied that there is a deal between the MB and the ruling military council. The Al-Ahram Center for Strategic Studies held a seminar on Tuesday regarding the role the media should play in monitoring the next parliamentary elections in Egypt.
