A bribery case every minute and a half in the state administration
“Health” tops the list of “open drawer” ministries, followed by “localities” and “catering”
Transparency International: Egyptian laws have made corruption a trade and craft
A case of corruption and bribery in every minute and a half in the administrative apparatus, which consumes a third of the state’s general budget .. a catastrophe in every sense of the word. There is no ministry or institution without a corruption network, known and known to the competent authorities, and yet this network is expanding year after year Another, until the volume of its cases in one year (2015) reached more than seventy thousand cases, according to the latest data of the administrative prosecution, and “Health” tops the list of corrupt ministries.
The most dangerous of the catastrophe is that this scourge that engulfs the body of the Egyptian economy has turned into a "workmanship" for its men and those who know its secrets, as well as for its senior "teachers" and "boys" and mature just like what happens in drug networks .. to keep employees' drawers always open and the pockets are always ready to receive More.
And these all were behind Egypt occupying the 94th position in Transparency International, and all of them succeeded in removing the teeth of 36 state watchdogs, with their power and influence, and men within the various institutions and administrative agencies, so that Egypt would turn into a "focus of corruption."
The mystery in corruption cases is that it disappears and dies after its disclosure, so that the corrupt escapes from justice and the crime remains, and the volume of corruption rises to more than 200 billion pounds, and the corrupt members of all the decisions of the president are exposed to the wall, and they throw all the reports of the anti-corruption agencies in the trash. Corruption becomes legalized and by order of the government .. The question is, has the empire of corruption become stronger than all the attempts of the Presidency to eliminate it? Is the government really serious about combating it, and if so, why did the government’s statement ignore the mechanisms and programs of this control? And she knows that she has more than 6 million employees, many of whom are not without a corruption case.
Transparency International confirms in its reports that Egypt still needs a lot of serious work to combat corruption, and that the legislation and laws related to combating it are still deficient and incompatible internationally, and need to be activated, especially the financial disclosure law and the administrative prosecution law.
According to what was published by the "Corruption Wiki" initiative, there is diversity, mobility, and even competition for corruption and the corrupt in Egypt .. The initiative adopted by young Egyptians during the month of June of last year 2015 monitored "71" cases of corruption, with a total of 3 billion and 496 million and 823 thousand and 672 pounds of state funds The share of the embezzlement was about 816 thousand and 264 pounds in the real estate month, and the seizure of public money amounted to about one billion and 100 million pounds, of which only 500 million came from the supply of Al-Ayat city and about 2 billion pounds as a waste of public money from the Ministry of Urban Development in addition to 345 million pounds from the executive body of the region Free.
Official records and court files refer to many government corruption incidents, including: The fall of the assistant general manager of the General Administration of Catering for Ships and Aircraft at Misr Petroleum Company while he was taking a bribe from the executive director of a private sector company to settle and schedule his company's debts ..

From Kerdasa to Dakahlia, 300 thousand pounds were embezzled by an employee of the Dakahlia Security Directorate by paying monthly salaries for three fake names for a period of three years, where she added names to the lists of wives and families of the wounded officers and martyrs who have them The right to spend pensions .. And she admitted that these names were for her mother, sister, and one of her relatives.
As a continuation of the corruption series, Mahrous, 49, head of the Department of Student Affairs and Examinations in the Sohag Educational Administration, was arrested for taking sums of money from some foreign students to write letters for them to enroll them in schools affiliated with the Maragha Educational Administration without legal procedures in this regard, as well as forging official extracts stating the success of students in educational stages. Contrary to the truth, as well as selling the extracts to citizens who wish to do so, to enable them to obtain driving licenses from the various traffic units and apply for them to work in some Al-Azhar institutes unlawfully in exchange for sums of money, as well as seizing public money by forging the books of the Directorate of Education through tampering with Basic data arranged to increase, as well as by placing his name in the lists of the disbursement of the system and monitoring committees' remuneration for all educational levels in the directorate unlawfully for the years 2013/2014/2015.
A report issued by the Central Auditing Agency on the activities of the Ministry of State for Urban Development and Informal Settlements in 2014 revealed a number of financial irregularities, which were represented in the waste of 887 million pounds from the state budget in the informal sector.
A report issued by the Central Auditing Agency revealed violations and waste of millions of pounds of public money in the General Nile Roads and Bridges Company of the Ministry of Transport and achieved losses amounting to 157 million pounds, represented in 44 million pounds in losses for projects implemented during the past fiscal year and 113 million pounds in accumulated losses for projects it had implemented up to 30 June. 2014/2015 .. Also, last year, Aswan Governorate witnessed a bribery case, which was the talk of the Aswan street, and the arrest of the Director General of Housing and 4 of his assistants, who were accused of receiving a sum of money as a bribe to facilitate the implementation of the construction of housing units in Aswan governorate for one of the contractors.
The supervisory reports indicated that the Director of the State Property Administration in Assiut Governorate received money in exchange for facilitating illegal procedures to seize state-owned lands, and he was arrested while receiving a bribe.
The reports of the Partners for Transparency Foundation revealed 138 incidents of corruption in just one month, distributed between 23 in the Ministry of Health, 20 in the localities, 18 in catering, 6 in the interior, 5 in finance, 5 in youth and sports, 9 in education, 9 in agriculture, and 4 In endowments, 4 in investment, 5 in transportation, 3 in antiquities, 3 in irrigation, one incident in petroleum before the last incident in Egypt Petroleum, 2 in culture, 2 in housing, 2 in social solidarity, and 14 in the rest of government agencies .. and ended The institution's restriction to Egypt’s ranking in the corruption index, according to Transparency International’s annual “corruption perceptions” estimate, was 88, which is different from what was previously published by stating that Egypt ranks 94th.
Which means that there is inconsistency in numbers and arrangement.
Whatever the disagreement is about Egypt's position in the transparency index, the one sure fact is that corruption in Egypt is "catastrophic" and has reached an extent that calls for rapid action before it is too late.
Financial, administrative and bureaucratic corruption continues to pervade all sectors of the administrative apparatus .. Which, from the point of view of Dr. Safwat Al-Nahhas, the former head of the Organization and Administration Authority, necessitates the mechanization of government business, even the basic and services provided to eliminate corruption in a large proportion!
Financial and administrative
And combating corruption, both financial and administrative, according to Dr. Salah El-Din El-Desouky, head of the Arab Center for Administrative Studies and Development, is done through a legislative axis and another human.
As for the legislative axis by changing and developing the legislative framework governing the state's administrative apparatus by introducing laws that effectively reduce the volume of transactions until the final procedure, such as the one-stop shop and the unified investment law, which reduces the possibility of corruption and the level of administrative bureaucracy, especially in localities and service agencies, which are the most corrupt at the level of the apparatus. Governmental ... Corruption, as described by Dr. Salah El-Desouky, has become in Egypt a workmanship of a lawyer manipulating the loopholes of the law of the negligent and erroneous doctor in the rights of his patients up to the deputies of interests in Parliament who speak the language of "immunity". Who among us forgets the very long history of condemning the deputies of the "master of his decision" in Cases of murder, forgery, waste and appropriation of public money, and trading in the pain and souls of Egyptians .. With regard to the element or the human axis, and as Dr. Salah says, we must start with a change to the employee’s administrative mentality based on corruption that coexists with him and does not deny him until it has become part of the nature of the work itself, such as hypocrisy, courtesy, and the open drawer Always and fear of development, and therefore fighting corruption begins with incitement against the rigid administrative mentality! Then we do not become, as is the case today, "we are all corrupt."
Director General of Giza Health ... his salary is 899 pounds and his monthly allowance is 40 thousand pounds!
In Giza - the official papers we obtained - an exciting incident is reported ... The Director General of the Giza Health Directorate, his basic salary does not exceed 898 pounds and 96 piasters, but what he gets monthly is more than 40 thousand pounds!
Official papers say that Dr. Azmy gets thousands of pounds every month from 9 special boxes belonging to the Health Directorate in Giza, so he gets about 8 thousand pounds from the hazardous waste fund, and about 16 thousand pounds from the medical commission for examining drivers, apart from more than more than 1500 pounds from the Malaria and Malaria Fund, the same from the Meningitis Fund, about 4 thousand pounds from the proceeds of the difference in the selling price of the medicine, about 2000 pounds from the Training Department at the Health Directorate, the equivalent of 1500% of his salary from the Minister's incentive item, and the 100% of his salary for supervision The distinguished section of Giza Sadr Hospital, in violation of Regulation 239 of 1997, which limits the disbursement of hospital revenues to the hospital’s activities, improvement of its medical service and the remuneration of doctors working in it.
In addition to 4 thousand pounds per month from medical convoys at the Ministry of Health, although he does not attend any of them, in addition to about 15 thousand pounds annually in exchange for supervising exams for nursing schools.
He also receives an allowance for attending the meetings of the Board of Trustees of the 6th of October and Sheikh Zayed agencies, and an allowance for attending the Executive Council meetings of Giza Governorate.
What is surprising, when a financial and administrative inspector at the Health Directorate in Giza, whose name is Ismail Ahmed Abdel Rahman, said that what the Director General of Health received violates the law, regulations and decisions of the Minister of Health, the response was to transfer it from the financial and administrative inspection to the commodity stock unit!
And more and more surprise is what happened next .. When «Ismail» complained to the governor of Giza, Kamal Al-Daly, the complaint was transferred to the legal affairs in the governorate, which conducted an extensive investigation and finally issued its decision to return «Ismail» to his first job at the Financial and Administrative Inspection Department. Giza issued a decision to this effect on March 21 .. The decision bears No. 3669 of 2016 .. And the surprise is that the governor’s decision himself was frozen in the Giza Health Directorate! .. And “Ismail” was transferred to the medical supply.
"EGOTH" ... loses 150 million pounds in a year ... and its president hires 10 warehouse consultants
From Giza to Garden City, the most famous neighborhood in Cairo, where the headquarters of the Egyptian General Company for Tourism and Hotels, known as “EGOTH,” the company lost 150 million pounds in the last budget, and sold the Holding Company for Tourism part of its lands in order to cover these losses.
This company uses 10 consultants in strange fields, and they get monthly salaries of more than 100,000 pounds ... The strangest thing about the company's consultants story is what is related to legal advisors .. The company in which there is a legal sector of 120 lawyers uses 3 legal advisors, including a vice president The Administrative Prosecution Authority, who receives in return for that 22 thousand pounds per month, and the company also uses another legal advisor, which is the lawyer Yahya El Demiri, who gets 5 thousand pounds per month, excluding taxes, in addition to the bonuses, incentives and allowances specified by the Chairman of the Board of Directors.
The funny thing is that the decision to seek the assistance of Al-Demiri as a consultant to the company justified the contract with him by assigning him to follow up the case of the company's Glem Palace in Alexandria, and the source of the wit is that the company lost that case despite hiring a special advisor for this case!
The list of the company's consultants also includes warehouse consultants and a translation consultant..so you seek the help of "Mahmoud Rashwan" (Bachelor of Commerce 1979) as a warehouse consultant for 5,000 pounds per month, and also Ramadan Mabrouk (Bachelor of Cooperation 1986) as a warehouse consultant, and he gets 6 thousand pounds a month, tax-free.
The EGOTH board chairman also uses “Amani Fakhry” as a translator for 7 thousand pounds per month, and “Magda Ali Hussein” as a consultant for education development in the educational institutes of the company for 3500 pounds per month, in addition to grants, incentives, rewards and allowances, and the engineer Muhammad Ali Saqr (Bachelor of Engineering 1978) As a consultant for engineering works for the Fantine Hotel in Aswan for 6 thousand pounds per month, in addition to special bonuses determined by the chairman of the board of directors, and engineer Muhammad Hajjaj as a consultant for the development of the floating restaurant Opal and his river marina for 3500 pounds per month, excluding incentives, bonuses and allowances, and accountant Mahmoud Mohamed Rashwan (Bachelor of Commerce 1979) consultant Supervising the work of "Talit" and the pricing of tasks in the company's projects, for 5 thousand pounds per month, exclusive of taxes,
The head of EGOTH also contracted with Dr. Muhammad Ali Al-Shawky (MBBS 1961) for a medical examination of the company's employees in Cairo for 2750 pounds per month, tax excise, and Dr. Nasser Ismail Hammouda (Bachelor of Medicine in 1969) for the medical supervision of the company's employees and students of the Hotel Institute in Alexandria for 1500 EGP per month and Dr. Mohamed Hassan Omar (Bachelor of Medicine 1983) to examine the employees of the Hotel Institute in Luxor for 800 EGP per month!
EGOTH’s peculiarities did not stop at the consultant’s list only, as the Central Auditing Agency detected many financial and administrative irregularities, among them the spending of 26 million pounds without documents on the development of the Shepherd Hotel, and the strange thing is that the company had not actually started developing the Shepherd Hotel when the accounting system monitored this The violation!
The salary of the Red Sea Sales Tax President is 13 months in 30 days!
And from Cairo to the Red Sea, where a report submitted by the Administrative Prosecutor by Issam Ramadan Mabrouk - the supervisor of the Financial Affairs Department at the Red Sea Sales Taxes area - confirmed that the head of the Red Sea Tax District receives a monthly incentive equivalent to a 12-month salary .. The communication said that the district president gets monthly On the delegate incentive, which equals two months’s salary, the district chief’s incentive, equivalent to 3 months’s salary, travel allowance, hospitality allowance, examination allowance, security incentive, each of which is equivalent to one month’s salary, and other incentives close to 4 months of his salary.
Issam Ramadan confirmed to Al-Wafd that the head of the Red Sea Sales Taxes area was staying in the rest area allocated to him, but he asked to rent an apartment in order to stay in and leave the rest, and his request was approved and an apartment was rented at an amount of 2000 pounds per month. The surprise was that he kept staying in the rest and rented The new apartment! ».
Experts are calling for amending the Administrative Prosecution Law
Law experts unanimously agreed on the necessity of issuing a new law for the administrative prosecution, and Dr. Fawzia Abdel Sattar, professor of criminal law at Cairo University and former head of the legislative committee of the People's Assembly, and Counselor Abdel Nasser Khattab on the Administrative Prosecution believes that the need has become urgent to issue a law that avoids the deficiencies and legal obstacles that sometimes prevented performance The administrative prosecution for its mission in the best way, pointing out the importance of the law to include the articles that enable it to extend its competencies well in compliance with the text of the constitution, on all administrative public authorities and facilities as long as they are subject to the supervision of the Central Auditing Organization and that the role of the prosecution is extended to identify deficiencies and defects that led to the occurrence These violations, and the provision of legal and practical solutions to solve any defect and submit proposals that chart the way for a functional society that achieves the hopes, aspirations and needs of the people, pursuant to the text of Article 43 of the Administrative Prosecution Law, which in light of this issues in some cases recommendations and proposals as it deems an investigator to reform what may be The investigations revealed deficiencies in the texts of some laws, regulations, or administrative instructions, and then c The prosecution’s message is complete in establishing justice in the functional society and holding the corrupt and corrupt to account!
Dr. Fawzia Abdel Sattar believes that fighting corruption will actually begin in Egypt when the officials decide to do so by developing legislation to properly combat it. Despite the presence of more than 36 oversight agencies, Egypt has turned into a focus of corruption because the role of these agencies is ineffective due to their lack of independence in light of their direct subordination to the executive authority. They are legally subject to the control of these agencies, and of course their supervisory role will not be straightened as long as their heads are appointed by the President of the Republic or the Prime Minister, which requires separation of the three judicial, legislative and executive authorities!
