Major General Gamal Awad, head of the National Social Insurance Organization, confirmed that President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi anticipates events and has a vision for the future and commented on the social protection package approved by the government on behalf of the president El-Sisi, saying: “The president is on the side of the weaker groups of society.”
Major General Gamal Awad added, in a telephone interview to the “From Egypt” program, with the media Amr Khalil, on the CBC, that President Sisi always supports the most needy groups within society, noting that the 30 % of retirees receive £ 1,000 to £ 2,000. 300 is too high for them.
He continued: “About 11 million pensioners benefit from the new £ 300 increase”, noting that the package of social measures aims to support those most in need, and from 1 November pensions will be paid with the new increases.
