Mada Masr publishes 350-page report by Hisham Genena

Deposed Central Auditing Organization chief Hisham Genena’s report tracking corruption in Egypt was published in Mada Masr. The 350 page report alleges corrupt practices and violations across the real estate, petroleum, energy, agriculture, [healthcare compounds], banking, tourism, and other sectors and their respective ministries. The report names former and current ministers as being complicit in addition to notable companies. These include former Interior Minister Habib Al Adly and his family members and former Justice Minister Adel Abdel Hamid. The report doesn’t provide a total estimate for corruption in Egypt, but alleges that corruption in the New Urban Communities Authority amounted to EGP 879.6 bn. Genena had announced in December that total corruption stood at EGP 600 bn, statements which led to his removal and subsequent trial on charges of disseminating false news.
