Columnists remain fixated on the changes taking place with Cabinet, particularly when it comes to how the incoming government will handle the economic reform agenda. Al Shorouk’s Ziad Bahaa El Din urges the new government to focus on developing services and work programs that would improve citizens’ living standards and counteract some of the burdens of reform. Talaat Ismail shares the sentiment, saying in a separate column that these measures are necessary to keep people from reaching their breaking point with tough austerity measures.
