Egyptian parliamentarian and Chairman of the Transportation Committee in the Egyptian Parliament, Major General Saeed Taaima, expressed his reservations about the new traffic law, which was approved by the Council of Ministers on Wednesday and referred it to the State Council for discussion before it was formally approved.
He added that the law will be presented again to the House of Representatives, but he is not sure the House of Representatives will approve it again or not, noting that there are deputies will submit their objection to the new law.
He stressed that the provisions of the new traffic law, taken from the traffic laws in some Arab countries, pointing out that the countries that abide by the new law, rely mainly on electronic systems and surveillance cameras, which is missing by Egypt significantly.
He added that citizens in the Arab countries are committed to the application of the law and they have more traffic culture than the Egyptian citizens, and here are the deterrent fines expected, which makes their commitment to the law compulsory.
On the other hand, He added that the Egyptian economy is in one of its critical periods, stressing the need for taking serious steps to restore its rates of economic growth. He called the government for announcing its future plans to push forward the economic situation.
He signaled to the economic aids that the Gulf States provided to Egypt during the recent years, saying that these aids came to respond to Egypt's sacrifices for its Arab brothers. Regarding the IMF loan, He said that Egypt has a quota in the international institution so it has the right to take the loan, clarifying that the fund's job is to provide support for the member states if they needed.
He added that the fund praised Egypt's economic decision to liberate its currency; it was painful but necessary decision. He added that the fund said the decline in the pound value transcended what was expected but it is not realistic to assess the economic experience in only two or three months.
He called the Egyptian media to deliver the exchanged messages between the citizen and the government, stressing that the governmental official should deal transparently with the citizen during the coming period and reveal the coming measures through the media channels and newspapers.
He added that the media also should perform its role to deliver the messages of citizens to the government and to transfer their visions over the economic reform.
