The head of the Alexandria-based Borg al-Arab Investors Association, Farag Amer, has denied reports about his decision to transfer his factories from Egypt to the United Arab Emirates because of contaminated water.
"What ever happens, I will never relocate my factories to somewhere else," Amer told Al-Masry Al-Youm.
"Our sense of nationalism always overcomes our emotions, though what has happened would infuriate anyone; losses were worth millions and officials never care about us," he stated, urging Egypt's presidency to "purge state bodies of officials who hamper investments in Egypt and hinder citizen's services".
