The Planning Ministry has finished drafting a Unified Planning Act, Deputy Minister Nihal El Megharbel said on Sunday, according to Al Masry Al Youm. The bill, which should be going to the House of Representatives before the end of the year, sets a framework for the state to regulate the planning and execution of national projects based on their merit and overall goals and purpose, as well as costs and sources of funding. Why we need a law to do what feasibility studies were created for is beyond us.
