Some outgoing ministers’ performance may have been subpar due to factors beyond their control

The performance of some of the ministers replaced in Sunday’s Cabinet shuffle was hindered by factors beyond their control, including bureaucracy and other issues within their respective ministries, Emad El Din Hussein writes for Al Shorouk. Many of these ministers were exerting significant effort and actually had a well-formulated vision for their ministries, but the environment in which they worked make it difficult for any minister — regardless of their effort — to make good progress. Hussein stresses that any government official will be unable to do their job unless these issues are resolved.
