Among the cabinet reshuffle that took place on Tuesday, five ministers will run ministries related to social welfare and services. Each of the five ministers will face the challenge of solving a number of Egypt’s top issues that have been ongoing for the past two years. Moreover, the last three months of 2016 saw a sharp shortage in sugar, considered one of the country’s essential products. This shortage came as a result of the agriculture minister’s failure to offer sugar to the citizens. This shortage still continues, and the new agriculture minister is required to come up with plans to help return sugar to the market.
