Last Night’s Talk Shows on 1 March 2021

The Madbouly Cabinet’s move to postpone the implementation of amendments to the Real Estate Registry Act, which we cover in detail in Legislation Watch, above, was the talk of the town on the airwaves last night. The decision earned (figurative) applause from El Hekaya’s Amr Adib, who said that laws that are drafted without people’s needs in mind will be met with popular resistance (watch, runtime: 1:30). Ala Mas’ouleety’s Ahmed Moussa went with literal applause, after expending much energy over the past several days criticizing the amendments (watch, runtime: 1:04).

Also on the airwaves last night:

  • The government is kicking off a new award program for young creatives, First Lady Entissar El Sisi said yesterday. (Eman El Hosary on Masaa DMC | watch, runtime: 0:53)
  • A presidential initiative to develop 4.5k villages in Egypt within three years in cooperation with civil society will cost some EGP 515 bn, Sona3 El Kheir’s board of trustees President Mostafa Zamzam said. (Lobna Assal on Al Hayah Al Youm | watch, runtime: 11:29)
