children\u2019s cancer hospital of corruption<\/b>. Scriptwriter Wahid Hamed had alleged earlier this year that the hospital\u2019s funds have been mismanaged and that donations meant to finance pro-bono medical care were spent elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p><b>A committee found no evidence the cancer hospital\u2019s management engaged in any form of financial wrongdoing<\/b>, including using donations for personal investments in the stock market, Social Solidarity Ministry spokesman Mohamed El Okaby told Al Hayah Al Youm. The committee\u2019s investigation also looked into other issues at the hospital, such as allegations that patients were removed from their rooms to shoot a television series and that the hospital ran unlicensed clinical trials on patients. Investigators concluded all allegations were baseless (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5ruX8GKUAQg\">watch, runtime 10:13<\/a>). El Okaby said much of the same on Hona Al Asema (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_JkX-knyeu8\">watch, runtime 7:30<\/a>) and Masaa DMC also took note of the developments (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=NZ0Au0WlwWU\">watch, runtime 2:50<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><b>Hamed still doesn\u2019t buy it \u2014and accused the committee of a cover-up.<\/b> He also told El Hekaya\u2019s Amr Adib that the committee has failed to address all of his concerns, and that he is willing to issue a public apology if he is definitively proved wrong (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SuKyly01PK8\">watch, runtime 5:46<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><b>The Egyptian defense expo is going to \u201cput Egypt on the map\u201d for its defense industry<\/b>, Military Production Minister Mohamed El Assar said in a phone-in to El Hekaya. El Assar also recapped some of the products introduced at the event (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=xeExYOBhIcE\">watch, runtime 5:41<\/a>). The minister is set to meet today with several defense officials and diplomats, according to ministry spokesman Mohamed Bakr (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6dUYNbIuf2s\">watch, runtime 4:15<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><b>Also on the airwaves last night:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fully manufactured products only account for 4% of Egypt\u2019s imports, member of the Cairo Chamber of Commerce\u2019s importers division, Ahmed Shiha, said (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=caytsACL3D8\">watch, runtime 4:59<\/a>);<\/li>\n<li>Hona Al Asema\u2019s Lama Gebril discussed a new technology that genetically maps cancer cells with oncologist Hisham Al Ghazali (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8xSq0_m_1So\">watch, runtime 4:40<\/a>);<\/li>\n<li>Masaa DMC looked into a harassment incident at 6 October residential compound (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=I-Cw9Vspe-Q\">watch, runtime 4:54<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/enterprise-last-nights-talk-shows\/\">Enterprise+: Last Night\u2019s Talk Shows<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/military-production-ministry\/\">Military Production Ministry<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"604457\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"604457\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">3<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Speed Round<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/12\/04\/our-exclusive-sit-down-with-cit-minister-amr-talaat\/\">\r\n                            Our exclusive sit-down with CIT Minister Amr Talaat                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/12\/04\/our-exclusive-sit-down-with-cit-minister-amr-talaat\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

Immediate bonus for business: Building the coder \/ developer \/ programmer talent we all need is at the top of his priority list. Edited excerpts:<\/p>\n<p><b>Building the developers of tomorrow: <\/b>Our top mandate as a ministry is the Egyptian human development program \u2014 a key platform of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi\u2019s second term in office. The ministry\u2019s role in the initiative is extensive and will span a number of programs \u2014 some will be in collaboration with other agencies and others will be executed by the ministry alone. <b>Our primary focus is to build and scale up technology talent in Egypt.<\/b> The specialized skills we are targeting will be geared for both the domestic and the international labor markets, with an eye towards expanding the services that Egypt exports as well as attracting investment to the domestic market. The initiative will look at the human resources aspect as well as introducing a cultural shift through education and expanding the use of e-governance platforms.<\/p>\n<p><b>Training centers for data science, AI, game creation:<\/b> On the human resources side, we\u2019re planning to expand the use of tech hubs and parks. The ministry is currently working on developing eight technology hubs at Egypt\u2019s universities that will <b>provide training in skills highly coveted by the labor market<\/b>, including blockchain, AI, data science, cyber security \u2014 even gaming. The program will run in collaboration with the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.iti.gov.eg\/\">state\u2019s Information Technology Institute<\/a> and the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nti.sci.eg\/nti\/\">National Telecommunications Institute<\/a>, which will also provide training to university students through their digital platform. The government is also pressing forth with the <b>technology parks<\/b> that have begun being developed over the past three years, as well as encouraging the development of <b>incubators<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p><b>The ministry is certainly keeping an eye on exports<\/b> as we look to build up capacity<b>. <\/b>We\u2019re looking to export the skills we\u2019re developing by encouraging freelance platforms that hire Egyptians, continuing to incentivize outsourcing, and through \u201cexcellence centers\u201d that major international IT corporations would open here. The key here is to wisely manage the \u201cvalue space\u201d for exports across the board, by both focusing on enhancing skills on the upper echelon of the space, such as machine learning and blockchain, while also encouraging segments that we do well, such as outsourcing.<\/p>\n<p><b>As part of the state\u2019s digital transformation program, Egypt Post is now being redefined to become the primary service provider for government and financial services<\/b>, where people can pay and receive crucial government documents as well as seek micro financing. Furthermore, the ministry is also working with various ministries and bodies to roll out digitized government services. We are working with the Health Ministry on rolling out the new healthcare scheme under the Universal Healthcare Act. It is also working with the Education Ministry to ensure public schools are connected online. So far, more than 2,600 secondary schools were connected with fiber optics before the start of the current academic year. We are also working on a single platform for Egypt\u2019s cultural heritage in collaboration with the Culture Ministry.<\/p>\n<p><b>This brings us to our key role in the CBE-led mobile payments strategy and the rollout of the state debit card Meeza. <\/b>The CIT Ministry is taking the lead on building up the infrastructure for Meeza, which will at some point in the future be used by citizens to access all key government services, from healthcare to subsidies. We are working on creating a single unified database for Egypt, which will underpin the new Meeza card, and making sure that each card it tied to a single bank or postal account. This will commence when the new health insurance program begins being rolled out in Port Said next year. We plan on creating 20 mn accounts in just 2 years. This will be a big boost to the cause of financial inclusion while ensuring an efficient subsidies system.<\/p>\n<p><b>We are working to improve the quality of the broadband and telecom services <\/b>through two strategies: ongoing development and upgrading of Egypt\u2019s network infrastructure, and improving transparency. On the latter point, the ministry will hire an independent company to monitor the service quality. The company will then put out a public report to inform the state and private citizens on where the quality of service stands and where we need to improve.<\/p>\n<p><b>I do not see a need in the market for a fifth mobile network operator.<\/b> This is in line with other nations, where the telecoms industry on the whole is not over-saturated with players.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/amr-talaat\/\">Amr Talaat<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/cit-ministry\/\">CIT ministry<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/meeza\/\">Meeza<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/speed-round\/\">SPEED ROUND<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/technology\/\">technology<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"604472\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"604473\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"604473\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">4<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Up Next<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/12\/04\/what-were-tracking-this-week-and-beyond-38\/\">\r\n                            What we\u2019re tracking this week and beyond                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2018\/12\/04\/what-were-tracking-this-week-and-beyond-38\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

The committee\u2019s review of the law took into account recommendations from the Council of State (Maglis El Dawla), said committee head Sami El Mashad.
