Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi on Wednesday oversaw the swearing-in of a deputy prime minister, several ministers and deputy ministers following a cabinet reshuffle, according to a presidential statement. The presidency said a presidential decree also abolished the Ministry of Public Business Sector, with the prime minister tasked with issuing the necessary implementing decisions. He also underlined the role of media in raising public awareness, countering misinformation, and supporting reform efforts in the public interest. On Tuesday, Egypt’s House of Representatives approved the cabinet overhaul during an emergency session convened after receiving a communication from President Al-Sisi. The changes included the reinstatement of the Ministry of Information and the appointment of 14 new ministers across key portfolios, marking significant structural adjustments to the government.
