Did Mona Zobaa resign because of Sahar Nasr?

Cabinet-table politics at economic group spilling over into the local press? Did GAFI Managing Director Mona Zobaa resign because Investment Minister Sahar Nasr was too difficult to work with? Al Masry Al Youm’s Sabry Ghoneim thinks so, saying that Zobaa’s resignation last week — along with several other Investment Ministry officials — is a clear sign that working with Nasr became challenging. Ghoneim says Nasr was initially one of his favourite cabinet members and blames other ministers for trying to sideline her. He points specifically to Trade and Industry Minister Tarek Kabil, who he says stole Nasr’s thunder by releasing his ministry’s industrial investment map right around the same time Nasr was gearing up to launch her own investment map.
