“The new government might be announced on Thursday,” said Prime Minister Kamal al-Ganzoury, who is tasked with forming a new national salvation government. “I have not yet met with any of the nominees.”
Ganzoury met with Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, president of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF), on Monday to discuss the formation of an advisory council designed to help the SCAF during the transition period.
He said the new government’s priority is to create 500,000 new jobs. “We need to achieve social justice in the face of soaring prices,” he said.
Ganzoury also met with representatives of various political parties and movements to discuss ways of overcoming the country’s current political crisis.
