“The president demanded that the government’s transfer to the new administrative capital should represent a radical and modern development of the state’s administrative apparatus,” added Rady.
He also called for formulating a comprehensive conceptual framework for exploiting the current government assets and buildings in Cairo after vacating them within the framework of sound management of state assets and maximizing their value.
