Egypt State Information Service
Hmmmmmm.
Dr. Ahmed Nazif Prime Minister assigned eleven ministries including agriculture and land reclamation, tourism, trade and industry, housing and finance the mission of sorting out laws on dealing with the desert lands owned by the State and to propose a unified law on the use of desert land, in implementation of President Mubarak assignments for making the best use of those lands.
The assignments included the incorporation of similar laws and define the contradicting ones to avoid in the unified law.
The Prime Minister gave the end of this year as a deadline to have the unified law on desert lands according to the proposed funds.
Well now that we've got that completely sort out in our heads . . . .
