my dear friend Egyptian-in-USA made a suggestion that that the government should made a pension of the president's kids after his death ,I didn't like the suggestion at first but when I thought deeply in it ,I found it is a reasonable.
I know many will say what pension you are taking about ?
Look to Nasser's kids ,El-Sadaat's kids and not to mention Mubarak's Sons
And I tell you you forgot to mention the first president of this Country General Mohamed Naguib's sons and his family.
This great man who suffered a lot and his family suffered with him too.
If you know his history ,you will know what I am talking.
A story of Egyptian tragedy ,full of agony
General Naguib wanted Democracy in 1954 and a liberal life to be established in Egypt , a strong government accountable by the parliament who is elected by the people ,the crisis of 1954 that till now we are suffering from its impact "imagine Egypt if Naguib won in 54, what we would have reached ?"
Nasser and company didn't want so , also the C.I.A didn't want ,also Nasser got sick from the old man that he used as a shelter in case if they were caught ,he would be the first one to be hanged ,he wants to be in the picture especially the popularity of Nagiub was increasing rapidly .
and with no further explanation in the Egyptian modern history ,they overthrow the man ,the free officers who turned to be the evil officers as Naguib called him in his autobiography, they put him in exile ,not that only but even fought his family who had nothing to do in that conflict except their last name was Naguib
The agony that makes me support Egyptian-in-USA so much
President Naguib 's son worked as a taxi driver ,yes I swear he was
The other travelled to Germany ,west Germany I guess where he was killed not by the Mossad but by Nasser's secret service
Naguib stayed in exile all the ruling period of Nasser from 1954 to 1970 :(
I remember from many year ago when I was kid ,I used to buy Alaadin ,the Ahram children Magazine ,yeah I know it was so dull just like the Ahram ,it only didn't have the dead page !! anyway I remember they showed the picture of the grandson of president Naguib ,a kid he was at that time ,they wrote how excellent painter he was in his early age,showing him in image with his grand father 's protait that was drawn by him "he was talented" ,I remember that I was surprise to see him like this , the president's grand son wearing a very simple cloth ,I didn't understand at that early age except noticing his cloth
It is mixed feeling , feeling ashamed that the family of the first Egyptian president suffered like this and at the same time feeling that this great leader and his family both belong to the rest of the Egyptian people , the simple Egyptian people who suffer from the regime and I feel that it is bless not a curse ,it is more honorable for President Naguib 's family to suffer than to live in polluted life with the people's stolen money and rights
Yet they need to live in more dignity ,more respect
and that 's why I consider the pension idea is a good one ,to preserved by the law , a specific pension and special care to help them in their problems ,not to make them especial over others but to protect the dignity of Egypt
Nasser ,El-Sadaat and Mubarak's kids and grand-sons and daughters ,all were graduated from the AUC , all are living in a good live more than any other Egyptian people , it is not a bless,it is a curse

Beside the dignity of our country represented by those presidential families, ...... the pension will also make all future presidents feel safe about their families after them and they would not need to take "any special precautions" to secure the welfare of their sons/daughters after they leave the position.
