Transport Minister Kamel El Wazir was sworn in before President Abdel Fattah El Sisi yesterday, according to an Ittihadiya statement. The president announced El Wazir’s appointment on Sunday, and the House of Representatives greenlit the announcement on the same day. The new cabinet member, an army Lieutenant General, replaces Hisham Arafat, who resigned in the aftermath of the Ramses train disaster last month.
