The talking heads zeroed in on separately televised interviews of former top auditor Hisham Genena and the Islamist former presidential candidate Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh. Meanwhile, the Minister of Public Enterprise assures us that only two of the nation\u2019s eight public-sector holding companies are really loss-making (if you squint and turn your head the right way while reading their financial statements after consuming multiple ethanolic beverages).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hona Al Asema\u2019s Lamees Al Hadidi slammed Genena\u2019s interview with El Watan TV<\/strong> in which he claimed to be in possession of incriminating evidence against the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) \u2014 which took charge of the country after the 2011 uprising \u2014 that would secure former military chief of staff Sami Anan\u2019s release from detention. Lamees said Genena\u2019s appearance on a channel known for its affiliation with the Ikhwan was \u201cunacceptable\u201d and dismissed his alleged documents as fabrication that is more likely to harm Anan\u2019s case.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lamees was far less condemning of Aboul Fotouh\u2019s interview with statelet media outlet Aljazeera<\/strong>, describing it as a purely political act that is to be expected from an opponent of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi. She pointed out that Aboul Fotouh\u2019s statements mean to drive a wedge between El Sisi and the Armed Forces (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=eBPdlfHcZfc\">watch, runtime 21:10<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Al Hayah Al Youm\u2019s Tamer Amin railed against Aboul Fotouh for the interview<\/strong>, which he said serves only to tarnish Egypt\u2019s image abroad (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2cxjbJRIXC4\">watch, runtime 6:59<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Over on Kol Youm, <strong>Amr Adib mimicked his better half\u2019s disapproval of Genena\u2019s claims<\/strong>, questioning the logic behind waiting this long to make the threat (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XaxVdXeyRHQ\">watch, runtime 5:04<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adib then had a chat with Foreign Ministry spokesman Ahmed Abu Zeid about US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson\u2019s visit<\/strong>, which Abu Zeid said reflects the importance Washington places on dialogue with Cairo (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=K5PcC7WRQFk\">watch, runtime 7:26<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Back on Hona Al Asema, <strong>Abu Zeid also told Lamees not to read too much into Tillerson\u2019s statements about holding fair and transparent elections<\/strong>, playing them down as a routine demand the US would make of any country (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jqnZwWbzPKE\">watch, runtime 4:10<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lamees took note of Daesh\u2019s video warning of attacks ahead of the March election <\/strong>(full story in Speed Round), which MP and journalist Abdel Rehim Ali interpreted as the group\u2019s swansong and proof that the military\u2019s operations in Sinai are effective (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ZGRaan-MjfM\">watch, runtime 8:55<\/a>).

Badawy told Lamees that his ministry is looking at a shakeup in companies\u2019 management to help boost performance. He also said that only two of the country\u2019s eight holding companies are making losses, whereas the rest are turning profits (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Md4TxSPxr48\">watch, runtime 3:08<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Textiles in particular are continuing EGP 2.7 bn in (annual?) losses<\/strong>, he said, adding that the 35 textile companies are drowning in a collective EGP 7-10 bn in debts owed to the National Investment Bank. The government is looking into repaying these debts by selling off some of the companies\u2019 assets, which he said were last valued at EGP 90-100 bn prior to the EGP float (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sVglj3JIUHA\">watch, runtime 1:51<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Badawy remained tight-lipped on the state\u2019s IPO program, <strong>saying only that there are 10 companies in the IPO pipeline<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4qvcjfRnU3s\">watch, runtime 3:45<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>The minister also touched on the government\u2019s strategy for the tourism sector<\/strong>, which rests heavily on renovating and polishing up some of the country\u2019s hotels, listing Aswan\u2019s Old Cataract, Luxor\u2019s Winter Palace, and Cairo\u2019s Mena House as some of the best-poised for high ratings (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=N8R9RUlTLHA\">watch, runtime 15:29<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Over on Masaa DMC, Oil Ministry spokesman Hamdi Abdel Aziz gave host Eman El Hosary the low-down on the new 95-octane formula<\/strong> announced at the EGYPS conference and how it differs from the product currently on the market (we have details in Speed Round, below) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DDDC_X9rJ5Y\">watch, runtime 3:51<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Back on Kol Youm, Adib hailed the outcomes of the EGYPS conference<\/strong>, including BP\u2019s announcement that it will begin production at the Atoll gas field ahead of schedule (Also covered in Speed Round).
