Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has approved a new law that amends some provisions of Law No. Under the new law, any public employee in the state can be dismissed if they are found to undermine the state’s safety or security. The law is seen as one that specifically targets current and former Muslim Brotherhood members. The law’s provisions apply to workers in ministries, government, public bodies, agencies that have special budgets, public sector employees, and entities addressed by the provisions of the Civil Service Law. The law aims to combat corruption and enhance transparency in order to improve the public sector’s functionality.
