Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi has issued a directive to halt the implementation of a technical bulletin that had halted land registration procedures in three governorates: Damietta, Dakahlia, and Kafr El Sheikh. This move aims to resolve a longstanding issue affecting citizens' property rights and provide stability to their legal and social situations. The decision reflects the government's commitment to addressing problems that directly impact citizens' lives.
According to Ali Mehrain, a member of the Senate, the president's directive is a significant step towards resolving the crisis that had halted land registration procedures. The technical bulletin, issued in 2026, had put a halt to these procedures, causing inconvenience to citizens. Mehrain emphasized that the president's decision demonstrates the government's concern for citizens' rights and property, and its efforts to restore trust between citizens and state institutions.
The directive allows citizens to resume land registration and real estate transactions in accordance with the law, after a period of halted procedures. This move is expected to alleviate the burden on landowners and property owners who were affected by the halt. The government's decision also paves the way for the resumption of transactions within the three governorates, ensuring that citizens' rights are protected.
To facilitate the implementation of the directive, Mehrain stressed the need for swift executive action to ease transactions within the three governorates. He emphasized that any obstacles that may arise must be addressed, while ensuring that state rights are preserved and stable legal centers are maintained in accordance with the law.
The president's directive sends a clear message that citizens' interests and rights are a top priority for the government. Mehrain highlighted the importance of continued coordination between concerned parties to ensure the effective implementation of the decision and achieve legal and social stability for affected families.
The government's decision to halt the technical bulletin and replace it with a new one, issued on November 4, 2026, by the Land Registry and Notary Public Authority, aims to provide a smooth process for citizens to register their lands and properties. This move is expected to have a positive impact on citizens' lives and property rights.
The implementation of the president's directive is expected to have far-reaching consequences, not only for the affected governorates but also for the country as a whole. By prioritizing citizens' interests and rights, the government is taking a significant step towards building trust and stability in the country.
