President El-Sisi Meets New Governors: A Focus on Community Improvement
Today, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi convened a meeting with newly appointed governors and their deputies following their formal swearing-in ceremony. The gathering also saw the participation of Prime Minister Dr. Mostafa Madbouly and Minister of Local Development and Environment Dr. Manal Awad. This meeting was crucial in setting the stage for the governors’ responsibilities moving forward.
Emphasizing Resource Utilization
During the meeting, President El-Sisi welcomed the new appointees and underscored the necessity for each governor to effectively harness their respective governorates’ resources. The aim, as the President stated, should be to produce tangible results that benefit the public. Each governor plays a pivotal role, and success in their efforts is directly tied to the well-being of the nation as a whole. The emphasis on sincerity, dedication, and impartiality was a recurring theme, along with the importance of understanding local issues and challenges intimately.
Importance of Communication
A significant focus of the President’s address was the need for transparent and ongoing communication between governors, their deputies, and the citizens they serve. Addressing public complaints and requests seriously was highlighted as a priority. Effective resource management and collaboration with investors were also underscored, indicating a need for governors to be proactive in seeking partnerships that could further local interests.
Immediate Priorities for Governors
President El-Sisi laid out specific directives for the newly appointed governors. They were urged to prioritize the regularization of construction violations, the establishment of wastewater treatment facilities, and the enhancement of drinking water and electricity services. Additionally, the President called for improvements in educational institutions and the promotion of sports culture, all while encouraging partnerships with civil society organizations.
Supervision and Ground-Level Engagement
The President stressed that governors must take an active role in overseeing community cleanliness campaigns and the completion of projects associated with the “Decent Life” initiative. Such hands-on supervision will ensure that local issues are addressed effectively. He also called for governors to be present in their communities to understand and tackle residents’ problems firsthand. This includes overseeing the development of housing projects, managing new city developments, and addressing challenges related to agricultural land encroachments and illegal constructions.
Urban Planning and Tourism Development
Another key aspect of the meeting revolved around urban planning and enhancing the visual identity of governorates. The President reiterated that each governor should continuously work on developing local resources and promoting tourism in their regions. This involves identifying and overcoming challenges that hinder tourism growth, which is vital for economic development.
Conclusion
In his speech, President El-Sisi made it clear that successful governance relies on collaborative efforts, transparency, and a commitment to addressing the needs of citizens. The onus is now on these new governors to implement these directives effectively, reinforcing the connection between local governance and national prosperity.
