Why are we letting ‘utes run governorates?

Why are we letting ‘utes run governorates? We’ve spent decades making fun of the definition of “youth” in Egyptian politics, where anyone a day south of 65 is a ‘ute. And now that the president has appointed (relatively) young governors, Mohamed Amin helpfully writes for Al Masry Al Youm that these “young” governors really should have done some time as local officials before being given governorates to run that they could have “in-field experience” to leaven out their “theoretical background” in local affairs. And, of course, they’re going to need lots of briefings about local issues… You get the point.
