“I’d like to thank Hesham Qandil for understanding the reasons for my resignation,” he added, wishing the best for the ministry.
“I will serve the country, but from outside the governmental framework,” he said. “I don’t regret accepting the ministerial position, and I was honored to attempt it. I took the post for Egypt and I left it for Egypt.
