The new Egyptian government is facing many important issues, which needs practical and urgent solutions to match with the new atmosphere after the Egyptian January 25 Revolution. Newly appointed Egyptian Prime Minister Kamal el-Ganzouri's government was sworn-in in front of chairman of Egypt's ruling military council Hussein Tantawi yesterday December 7. The most important and urgent issues are social justice, control corruption, activating questioning for all state systems and provide security and stability for Egyptian citizen. Some politicians and professors tried to arrange the priorities of new Egyptian government. Egyptian presidential candidate Ayman Nour said restoring security and stability to Egypt is the most important issue the newly appointed government must resolve. They must then resume political reform, which started after the Egyptian January 25 Revolution, until rule is delivered to an elected civil authority. Nour also said the new cabinet should have established a ministry to fight corruption and restore stolen Egyptian funds, but it did not. He added restoring the funds is a very important issue that must be regarded during the upcoming phase. He also insisted on punishing every member involved in killing the protesters after the events of November 19. “The New government must prove its good intentions towards its people and should be permanently keen to purify various state systems from members of the former regime,” Nour said. Former deputy of the Central Agency for Auditing Assem Abdoul Moaty said there is a real dilemma to confront the new government, which is to separate social insurances fund away from the Ministry of Finance, which it has all its funds as bonds and bills. There are no resources that could pay social insurance funds. Moaty also said the government must rid of all leaders of big organizations and authorities, such as bank systems and holding companies. That will enable the Egyptian economy to encourage and attract new investments and improve also current investments. Moaty also said el-Ganzouri's government must work to provide comprehensive social and economical security for citizens. They also must develop current economic situation, which suffers big problems. Former dean of Al-Sadat Academy Hamdy Abduol Azeem said the economic file is the top priority el-Ganzouri's government must discuss first. This file includes unemployment problems. Azeem also said high prices are another urgent issue the government must discuss during the current phase, which can be solved by supporting and helping the poor. “Determining the minimum and maximum wages is the third issue that must be solved in the upcoming phase,” he said. He added limiting minimum and maximum wages will save state resources. Some employers' wages reach 500 EGP while their directors' wages reach 50,000 EGP. Limiting wages will achieve social justice and decrease the gap between the rich and the poor, Azeem said. He added el-Ganzouri's government must also reform the Real Estate Tax Law, as its head promised. A political science professor in Cairo University, Nourhan el-Sheikh, said the security file should be the top of el-Ganzouri's government priorities. Reviving the Egyptian economy depends on security. She also said the parliamentary elections were civil, without any violence or insecurity, which revived Egypt's stock market and proves economic situation depends basically on political and security stability.
