It was a mixed bag of nuts on the airwaves last night<\/strong>, with the talking heads keeping busy with an assortment of topics.<\/p>\n

The most interesting business-relevant topic last night was Samih Sawiris\u2019 acquisition of defunct tour operator Thomas Cook\u2019s German franchise<\/strong> (we cover the story in detail in this morning\u2019s Speed Round, below). Sawiris downplayed the magnitude of the acquisition, telling El Hekaya\u2019s Amr Adib that this is a tiny acquisition in the context of his track record (watch, runtime: 7:34)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The anticipated cabinet shuffle was the subject of a phone-in from Rep. Ahmed El Segini<\/strong>, who explained to Masaa DMC\u2019s Eman El Hosary the House of Representatives\u2019 process for reviewing and ratifying a ministerial change-up. El Segini didn\u2019t indulge in gossip over who\u2019s in and who\u2019s out, but did say the government needs to see a few new faces. The MP also didn\u2019t provide any clarity on when we should expect the shakeup to be announced (watch, runtime: 4:55)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Education development plans:<\/strong> The Education Ministry is pushing through its plans to overhaul the country\u2019s education system to focus on developing children\u2019s skills, ministry official Reda Hegazy told Lobna Assal, who is now flying solo on Al Hayah Al Youm. Hegazy stressed that the development plan is part of the state\u2019s overall policy and its continuity is not contingent on a specific minister<\/a>(watch, runtime: 6:01<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Government-owned cars and taxis could be switched out for electric vehicles in the near future, once the infrastructure for EVs is put in place<\/strong>, Public Enterprises Minister Hisham Tawfik told Adib on Friday evening. Tawfik noted that, theoretically, Egypt could see 10k taxis turned into electric models per year, but with 380k cabs driving around the country right now, we\u2019re not sure if the plan is to spend 38 years making the transition for all taxis on the road. Tawfik also briefed Adib on last week\u2019s visit from Chinese auto company Dongfeng, with which Egypt is set to sign<\/a> an EV manufacturing agreement next month<\/a>(watch, runtime: 7:55)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meetings on new capital preparations:<\/strong> President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly, and Planning Minister Hala El Said met yesterday to look into the process of moving ministries and other government bodies to the new administrative capital, Reham Ibrahim and Amr Khalil reported on Min Masr, which replaces Hona Al Asema<\/a>(watch, runtime: 1:01)<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
