Surprise, surprise: delays in getting the Local Administration Act out of the door means that we probably won’t see the House of Representatives vote on the law until March, said MP Mohamed Fouad, member of the House Committee on Local Administration. The law, which will organize and set up elected local councils throughout Egypt’s governorates, has been held up at the Egyptian Council of State (Maglis El Dowla), which is expected to complete its review of the law next week, a source from the council tells Al Borsa. The legislation is expected to be introduced to the House in December. Be thankful we have specific months and not a vague “in the coming period.”
