Thousands of top Egyptian university graduates and holders of master's and doctoral degrees are protesting outside the Prime Minister's office, demanding the reinstatement of their appointment to the state's administrative apparatus. This decision was previously made for their predecessors up to the 2013 batch and for master's and doctoral degree holders until 2015. Despite repeated follow-ups by universities and the Ministry of Higher Education, the issue remains unresolved. Many members of parliament have voiced their concerns about this matter.
In a related issue, citizens who have relocated to the new administrative capital are calling on Housing Minister Randa El-Menashy and Deputy Minister Walid Abbas to expedite the allocation of housing units in the project's fourth phase. These citizens are willing to pay the required deposits and view this as a reassuring message that they will receive their apartments. The minister and her deputy have been urged to resolve this issue objectively and within a clear timeframe.
The Ministry of Interior has been commended for its effective actions against individuals featured in videos showcasing thuggish behavior and displays of force. The ministry has taken legal action against those who have committed crimes. This move is seen as a step towards maintaining public safety and order.
At the Ministry of Supply, thousands of citizens who were excluded from the support system due to construction-related violations are facing challenges. Despite obtaining acquittals, their ration cards remain suspended. The ministry has been criticized for relying on lists of names provided by governorates, which include individuals who have later been acquitted.
A citizen, Mohiy El-Din Zaki Abdelrahim, is facing difficulties at the National Social Insurance Authority due to the lack of settlement of his pension case. The issue is related to non-standard benefit settlements, which has led to the citizen not receiving his rightful pension without any fault on his part.
In another development, residents of the village of Al-Nujum in Kafr Saqr, Sharqia, are demanding the establishment of a youth center. The land for the center was allocated, and licenses were approved, but the project has yet to be implemented. Attempts to communicate with the Eastern Province's Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports have been met with no response.
Finally, Dr. Ahmed Abdel-Mouli, President of Assiut University, has been praised for his directives to accommodate certain humanitarian cases in the university's city. This move comes in response to a previous article highlighting the need for such action. The efforts of the university's president and his deputies have been commended.
