Leading the conversation on the airwaves last night: The Interior Ministry’s investigation into a leaked phone call allegedly held between two presidential advisors, during which they discussed alleged graft in national projects. The two “advisors” — one of whom impersonated an army major general — were apparently each trying to scam the other, the ministry announced. The call went viral last week after YouTube personality Abdullah El Sherif, who authorities say is a member of the Ikhwan currently living in exile, posted the recording on his channel. The story earned coverage from Ala Mas’ouleety’s Ahmed Moussa (watch, runtime: 1:15:47), Kelma Akhira’s Lamees El Hadidi (watch, runtime: 7:58), El Hekaya’s Amr Adib (watch, runtime: 16:31), and Al Hayah Al Youm’s Mohamed Sherdy (watch, runtime: 10:13).

The investigation provided the perfect segue for the talking heads to discuss the ongoing UN Convention Against Corruption, which is currently taking place in Sharm El Sheikh. UNODC Executive Director Ghada Waly phoned in to Kelma Akhira to explain the UNODC’s anti-corruption strategy, to which Egypt is a signatory, as well the launch of a new international platform to exchange information between countries on cases of corruption (watch, runtime: 3:34). The conference also earned airtime on Al Hayah Al Youm (watch, runtime: 10:52) and Ala Mas’ouleety (watch, runtime: 8:45).

Also on the airwaves last night: A recent Education Ministry decision to merge the science and math specializations in Thanaweya Amma into one pathway has caused a hubbub in the House of Representatives, with MPs filing dozens of inquiries to clarify certain details of the decision, House Planning and Budgeting Committee Undersecretary Mostafa Salem told Lamees (watch, runtime: 5:40). Education Minister Tarek Shawki phoned in to El Hekaya to explain to Amr Adib that he’s currently in the UAE for an education conference, which is why he has been unable to before the House to discuss the change (watch, runtime: 7:39).
