According to Walaa Gad, secretary-general of the NGO, the parliament has not yet completed the drafting of a law on local administrations. The local administration law aims to organise local municipalities and their elections, as they continue to witness a large number of corruption incidents. According to PFORT’s numbers for February, there have been four reported cases of corruption in local municipalities. As for the records of ministries in February, the supply ministry witnessed 17 cases, followed by the Ministry of Health and Population with 10 cases and the Ministry of Agriculture with 7. Most corruption cases include illegal seizure of lands, embezzlement, and black market business.
