PM to consider young politicians’ candidates for deputy minister positions
Young politicians will present their final list of candidates for deputy and assistant ministers to Prime Minister Hazem al-Beblawi by the end of the week, Al-MasryAl-Youm reported.
It is also intended that measures to disperse sit-ins at Rabea al-Adaweya and Nahda Square, where supporters of deposed president Mohamed Morsi are camped, will be discussed.
Ahmed Enany, member of the National Salvation Front, said the meeting will be attended by representatives of the front, Tamarod campaign, and the June 30 Front, who will propose criteria for the representation of revolutionary forces in deputy minister positions, the newspaper reported.
Mohamed Soliman Fayed, member of the June 30 Front, told Al-Masry Al-Youm that the “revolutionary youth forces” proposed four names for each deputy minister position in all 33 ministries. Soliman said the list is for both deputy governors and local councils memberships.
The list for deputy minister positions, according to Soliman, includes Hafez Abu Saeda, chairperson for the Egyptian Organization for Human Rights, for the Interior Ministry; Shadi al-Ghazaly Harb, a founding member of Dostour Party, for the Health Ministry; activist Israa Abdel Fattah for international cooperation; Dina Abdel Rahman for the Communications Ministry; and Nasser Amin, head of the Arab Center for the Independence of the Judiciary, for transitional justice.
