Jabali said that the draft law had received the necessary majority.
Major General Ahmed Al-Awadi, Chairman of the Defense and National Security Committee in the House of Representatives, said that Egyptian national security is a red line and the institutions responsible for protecting Egyptian national security are national institutions capable of preserving the security system and the sovereignty of the Egyptian state. Egyptians have investments in many countries around the world, and America itself encourages Investments grant the right of ownership to the investor to implement projects on its land.
The Chairman of the Defense and National Security Committee indicated that the state is keen to encourage investment, and there are legislative obstacles that hinder the state from achieving investment, including some provisions of the proposed law. He continued: “I reassure everyone… the lands designated for the defense of the state are a red line that cannot be approached under any circumstances.” The national projects that are undertaken must be approved by the relevant authorities, and the places allocated for investment are specific and well-known and not related to defending the state’s borders at all.”
This came in a speech by Al-Awadhi, before the plenary session of the House of Representatives, currently held under the chairmanship of Counselor Dr. Hanafi Jabali, which discusses the report of the joint committee from the Housing, Public Utilities and Construction Committee, and the offices of the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs and Economic Affairs Committees on a draft law submitted by the government amending some provisions of Law No. 143. of 1981 regarding desert lands.
