heads was El Sisi\u2019s exchange with Cairo Governor Khaled Abdel Aal<\/b>, who was unable to answer several of the president\u2019s inquiries about his governorate, including its budget and the scope of its infrastructure projects over the past four years. Hona Al Asema\u2019s Reham Ibrahim and El Hekaya\u2019s Amr Adib wagged their fingers at the governor and suggested the Local Development Ministry should look to replace him (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=w6csDL94c_o\">watch, runtime: 05:19<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Y-lghCn1NDM\">runtime: 08:38<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><b>El Sisi also reiterated his concern over the prevalence of obesity in Egypt<\/b>, and called for the inclusion of graded physical education classes in all schools to help ward off obesity from a young age (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=I-IUbAJU06o\">watch, runtime: 04:02<\/a>).

Khalil had appealed <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/11\/28\/medhat-khalil-appeals-conditions-for-raya-mto\/\">last month<\/a> the conditions under which the FRA ordered him to execute a MTO for 100% of Raya upon determining that he and his family own more than the threshold 33% required to trigger an MTO. Khalil asked for a two-month deadline extension, and requested, among other things, to appoint an independent financial advisor to determine the fair value for Raya.<\/p>\n<p><b>Administrative court postpones hearing on Beltone appeal to 5 January:<\/b> An administrative court has postponed to 5 January a hearing on Beltone Financial\u2019s appeal against a six-month suspension to its investment banking arm, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youm7.com\/story\/2018\/12\/15\/%D8%AA%D8%A3%D8%AC%D9%8A%D9%84-%D8%AF%D8%B9%D9%88%D9%89-%D8%A8%D9%84%D8%AA%D9%88%D9%86-%D8%B6%D8%AF-%D9%82%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B1%D9%82%D8%A7%D8%A8%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%8A%D8%A9-%D9%84%D8%AC%D9%84%D8%B3%D8%A9-5-%D9%8A%D9%86%D8%A7%D9%8A%D8%B1\/4068863\">Youm7 reported<\/a>.
