CABINET MEETING ROUNDUP- Prime Minister Sherif Ismail directed ministers to draft their fall legislative agenda. Other developments at yesterday’s rather boring weekly meeting of the Council of Ministers included:

  • Approving amendments to the Penal Code that allow for a rehabilitation and reintegration program for convicts;
  • Approving a USD 10 mn agreement signed in May between the government and the Islamic Development Bank to fund efforts to combat bird flu;
  • Ratifying a 2016 MoU with China to mitigate the effects of climate change.
