<\/a> The latest chapter in the drama that is former prime minister Ahmed Shafik\u2019s rocky return to Egyptian politics again dominated the airwaves last night. The unveiling of the first Egyptian smart phone and a potential hike in the cost of medicine came in close seconds.<\/p>\n

Shafik appeared on Dream TV\u2019s Al Ashera Masa\u2019an to dispel rumors of his kidnapping.<\/strong> The presidential hopeful says he was greeted by airport officials and taken to an upscale hotel since his house had been closed for years. He told host Wael El Ebrashy that he was not deported from the UAE, but that his Emirati hosts had been gracious over the past five years.<\/p>\n

Shafik then gave what was possibly the worst apology ever for a video in which he<\/strong>claimed he was barred from leaving the UAE.<\/strong> Instead of \u2018fessing up, Shafik said the video had been inadvertently leaked from his cell phone to Al Jazeera and that he had only recorded it \u201cas a backup option if things didn\u2019t go as planned.\u201d He also told the host that he returned to Egypt to get a sense of whether or not it\u2019s wise to join the 2018 race (watch, runtime: 24:05<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Shafik\u2019s daughter May also alleged to Hona Al Assema\u2019s Lamees Al Hadidi that the former<\/strong>prime minister was initially planning on announcing his intention to run for president from France<\/strong>, but Emirati officials \u201cpolitely escorted\u201d him to a plane heading to Cairo when the Al Jazeera video aired (watch, runtime: 3:24<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Kol Youm\u2019s Amr Adib noted that Shafik\u2019s main hurdle now will be collecting enough<\/strong>signatures to support his nomination<\/strong>, particularly considering the recent schisms within his political party (watch, runtime: 2:58<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Separately, Adib sat down with SICO Egypt Chairman Mohamed El Sayed Salem to talk<\/strong>about the first assembled-in-Egypt smartphone<\/strong>, which SICO produced. A base model runs EGP 200 and 4G-compatible handsets start at EGP 1k, Salem said. The company is also eyeing exporting the phone to African and Gulf countries. SICO Egypt has invested EGP 400 mn in its Assiut factory, but plans on raising that figure to EGP 1 bn, Salem added (watch, runtime: 20:55<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Back on Hona Al Assema, Lamees discussed potential hikes of medicine prices<\/strong>. House Health Committee member Abdel Aziz Hamouda claimed that Health Minister Ahmed Rady reached an agreement with Prime Minister Sherif Ismail to increase the prices of active ingredients by 15%, which would translate into a 40% jump in the final product price (watch, runtime: 4:12<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Over on Yahduth fi Masr, Federation of Egyptian Industries (FEI) head MP Mohamed<\/strong>Elsewedy<\/strong> told host Sherif Amer said that the House of Representatives is looking into setting up a medical safety authority that would be tasked with ending monopolistic practices in the pharma industry. Elsewedy said the would-be agency could reshape the industry and help keep struggling factories afloat.<\/p>\n

House isn\u2019t clamoring for a cabinet shuffle: <\/strong>Elsewedy \u2014 who also heads up parliament\u2019s majority bloc, the Support Egypt Coalition \u2014 also denied MPs are demand a Cabinet shuffle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
