Egypt Bans Former Minister from Traveling Abroad
|
Egyptian judicial authorities banned Wednesday former minister of agriculture Amin Abaza and two National Democratic Party (NDP) members from traveling abroad and froze their assets, local newspaper Al Masry Al Youm reported.
The decision prevented family members of the former minister and two businessmen, Mohamed Abul Einein and Amr Mansi, from leaving Egypt.
The travel ban was imposed after several reports accused the three of involvement in corruption in the eastern city Ismailia.
Egyptian general prosecutor banned last week three ex-ministers and a former senior member of NDP from travel and frozen their assets to question them in corruption cases following the uprising that forced President Hosni Mubarak to step down on Feb. 11.
Fareed denied that stolen ambulances during the demonstrations were used for transporting criminals and weapons.
Egypt had witnessed mass protests against Mubarak since Jan. 25, which finally led to the president's resign on Feb. 11.
Egypt's Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, which is now in charge of the country, on Tuesday set a period of 10 days for the constitutional amendment committee to finish its task.
The military council formed the committee on Tuesday in the presence of Minister of Defense and Head of Supreme Council of the Armed Forces Hussein Tantawi and Sami Anan, chief-of-staff of the armed forces.
The eight-member committee, chaired by Tareq el-Beshry, former head of Egypt's supreme constitutional court, includes three constitutional experts and three judges, as well as a representative of the Muslim Brotherhood, the country's prominent opposition group which is officially banned.
The constitution's articles 76,77,88,93,189 are expected to be revised to guarantee democracy and free elections while article 179 will be cancelled to pave the way for the annulment of the emergency state law which has been in effect for 30 years.
The military has pledged to transfer power to elected government in six months or until the presidential and parliamentary elections are held.
