The report issued by "Partners for Transparency" revealed that the month of June witnessed 56 corruption incidents, as the catering, health and local sectors accounted for nearly 54% of the total number of incidents, with a total of 30 incidents in the three sectors, which is consistent with the general results reported two years ago.

In addition, 5 ministries, including Education, Interior, Endowments, Agriculture, and Higher Education, acquired approximately 30% from corruption incidents during the month of June 2017.

The monitoring data revealed that the facts that are subject to investigation ranked first with a percentage of 73%, followed by the facts under trial with a percentage of 20%, then the facts that were judged by a percentage of 5%, and finally the facts that were not investigated ranked last with a percentage of 2%.

The report indicated that, by the end of June 2017, the Egyptian parliament ended its second session without completing a set of legislative proposals related to combating corruption, although some parliamentarians had already submitted positive perceptions and drafts that could be built upon, in addition to the fact that those interested in parliamentary performance were expecting legislative performance. More positive aspects with regard to combating corruption and developing the legal systems that help in that. They called on Parliament to adopt a package of important laws; Such as the law regulating the circulation of information, the law of the Coordinating Committee to Combat Corruption, and the Law on Protection of Whistleblowers and Witnesses.

The report emphasized that wasting the second session of Parliament without approaching the necessary legislation to combat corruption and promote transparency, integrity and accountability reveals the gap between state agencies regarding the nature of interest in the phenomenon of corruption, and the disparity in the extent of seriousness and priority to combat it.

The report indicated that the data indicated that the Cairo governorate alone acquired a 30% of corruption incidents during the month of June 2017, with about 17 incidents, while the data indicated that the governorates of Giza, Alexandria, Qalyubia, Menoufia, and the Red Sea, combined, obtained about 35% of corruption incidents in total. 20 incidents.
