An pinion on the deal By Hossam Badrawi

An pinion on the deal

There is no doubt that direct investment in the deal that has been announced is more than excellent, but we need to know that financing our hard currency through real estate deals (land and buildings) are short-term solutions, its philosophy is to overcome the immediate crisis.
I do not underestimate the achievement, but I build on it.
The challenge facing the Egyptian economy is a challenge in its structure, demonstrating weak production, limited exports, and fluctuations in foreign currency sources (Suez Canal, Egyptian workers outside Egypt transfers, tourism, energy exports)
We need a deep restructuring within a specific vision and priorities.
I say this and I am not an economic expert, but I observe and use my mind , think , and compare. As for the details of the strategy to be followed, this is the responsibility of the economic experts in the government and civil society and should not be a secret but known to everyone, and is necessary to be specific in terms of time, cost, and have indicators for measurement and monitoring from the parliament, media, and civil society (which is a challenge in itself)
This means that what we say here has a primary political aspect and should not be implemented to face an economic emergency in the country and then things
return back to Buisness as usual that lead to the crises in the first place.
The political aspect requires a parallel mind change that allows for sustainability in economics implementation, transparency, evaluation, and selection of the most qualified, not the loyal and hypocritical.
I repeat that the future of Egypt is based on pillars:
justice, human development, efficient management, and guaranteeing the rights of citizens in health, education, housing, public transportation, providing opportunities, and raising the capabilities of citizens to make better choices and benefit from them.

About Dr. Hossam Badrawi

Dr. Hossam Badrawi
He is a politician, intellect, and prominent physician. He is the former head of the Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine Cairo University. He conducted his post graduate studies from 1979 till 1981 in the United States. He was elected as a member of the Egyptian Parliament and chairman of the Education and Scientific Research Committee in the Parliament from 2000 till 2005. As a politician, Dr. Hossam Badrawi was known for his independent stances. His integrity won the consensus of all people from various political trends. During the era of former president Hosni Mubarak he was called The Rationalist in the National Democratic Party NDP because his political calls and demands were consistent to a great extent with calls for political and democratic reform in Egypt. He was against extending the state of emergency and objected to the National Democratic Party's unilateral constitutional amendments during the January 25, 2011 revolution. He played a very important political role when he defended, from the very first beginning of the revolution, the demonstrators' right to call for their demands. He called on the government to listen and respond to their demands. Consequently and due to Dr. Badrawi's popularity, Mubarak appointed him as the NDP Secretary General thus replacing the members of the Bureau of the Commission. During that time, Dr. Badrawi expressed his political opinion to Mubarak that he had to step down. He had to resign from the party after 5 days of his appointment on February 10 when he declared his political disagreement with the political leadership in dealing with the demonstrators who called for handing the power to the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, from the very first moment his stance was clear by rejecting a religion-based state which he considered as aiming to limit the Egyptians down to one trend. He considered deposed president Mohamed Morsi's decision to bring back the People's Assembly as a reinforcement of the US-supported dictatorship. He was among the first to denounce the incursion of Morsi's authority over the judicial authority, condemning the Brotherhood militias' blockade of the Supreme Constitutional Court. Dr. Hossam supported the Tamarod movement in its beginning and he declared that toppling the Brotherhood was a must and a pressing risk that had to be taken few months prior to the June 30 revolution and confirmed that the army would support the legitimacy given by the people
