The amended version of the act also tweaked a clause that would have required reporters to acquire permits for every event they cover, and now only stipulates that these permits be obtained to access restricted areas, according to Salama (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/YahdothFiMasr\/videos\/625802087798101\/\">watch, runtime: 4:40<\/a>).

When Supreme Media Council boss Makram Mohamed Ahmed was recently summoned to account for a gag order imposed on the media, Salama not only defended the gag, but said he would <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2018\/07\/08\/freedom-of-speech-was-the-theme-of-the-evening-on-the-airwaves-last-night\/\">accompany Ahmed to the meeting with prosecutors<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rep.

Heikal said that the House \u201cgenerally\u201d took the Council of State and Press Syndicate\u2019s recommendations and requests when amending the act. Deputy House Speaker Soliman Wahdan also tried to frame the bill as an indication of House representatives\u2019 \u201cappreciation\u201d for the journalistic profession (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XJuYqse0aRs\">watch, runtime: 10:14<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lack of quorum behind postponement of vote on Madbouly gov\u2019t program? <\/strong>On a separate note, It appears that a lack of a quorum was behind parliament\u2019s delay in voting on the Madbouly government\u2019s policy program to tomorrow. Absentee reps also resulted in the postponement of deliberations over other pieces of legislation (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uG9zFkI8wK8\">watch, runtime: 4:26<\/a>).
