A misdemeanors court sentenced Housing Minister Mostafa Madbouly to one year in prison and imposed a EGP 30,000 fine for his ministry’s refusal to allow a former ministry employee to return to work at the ministry, Daily News Egypt reports. Madbouly is accused of failing to implement a previous court order to reinstate the employee after the woman as allegedly arbitrarily suspended. The ministry’s legal counsel said it will appeal Tuesday’s ruling, according to Al Mal.
