The House committee investigating allegations of corruption in this year’s wheat harvest has submitted its final report to the House of Representative, Reuters’ Eric Knecht and Maha El Dahan write. Noting the report was tabled “amid mounting pressure on the minister of supplies to resign,” the story says “the world’s largest importer of wheat has been mired in controversy over whether much of the roughly 5 mn tons of grain the government said it procured in this year’s harvest exists only on paper, the result of local suppliers falsifying receipts to boost government payments.”

Committee deputy chair Yasser Omar told Reuters that the final report “concluded some 200k tons of wheat was missing at ten private storage sites visited by the commission. … ’Of course there is more than 1 mn tonnes missing … but we won’t be able to know exactly how much is missing because we can’t inspect every single site,’ he said.” We have more on Hanafy — including the hotel bill flap and his appearance in front of the House yesterday — in Speed Round, below.
