Egyptian Chronicles: Truth always hurts

The media in Egypt nationally has nothing to speak about except the on going war between the Nazif Cabinet and the central auditing organization in the assembly this week.

For three successive days till now there are confronts , verbal tensions that could have reached to the verbal arguments under the dome of the respectable council simply because the ministers hate the truth.

First thing you must know that the CAO follows the President of Egypt and does not follow the cabinet. Second this year president Mubarak had extended the terms for the chairman of the CAO counsellor Dr.Gawdat El-Malt in appraising move. Third every year the CAO is obligated to present its annual report about the ministry to the parliament.

Now this year the big surprise to the Government and to the people in the same that the annual report came very honest , very critical , I can't say that they overestimated or attacked the government because what was mentioned in the report is actually the truth without lies or beautification process.

But this did not like the cabinet nor its members who started a war in the assembly led especially by Youssef Ghali , the minister of trade and one of the main responsible criminals who destroyed our economy in the last 5 years , well it is not a surprise as the CAO report attacked the financial policies of the Government.

El-Malt on the left ,looked very angry and Ghali on the right

Strangely all the experts said that what was mentioned in the reports of cons or most of the cons was mentioned in the previous years' reports , but the different is the language, it is not diplomatic anymore.

Already the Government decided to leash an attack on the Chairman of the CAO as if he were an opposition leader , a personal attack on him reached to the level of accusing him to work for the International Bank !! "Wow I thought that Ghali used to be the one who is working for the international bank!!??" but Dr.Malt is in the end the representative of the CAO in front of the assembly , he did not gather these numbers and facts by himself , he did not write this report by himself , he did what he should do .

I forget to mention that the accusations and attack did not reach to the person of Dr. Malt only but to the CAO itself , the ministers accused the organization for fabricating the figures in the reports , showing of course other government figures that prove how good the Nazif Cabinet is .

Already the report was fair to the Nazif cabinet , it mentioned the Pros and Cons of the Government , it even started with 16 Pros , but of course what 16 Pros do against 23 cons , each con of them can down any government in any democratic civilized world !!!

Examples of the cons :

The Government had lost the confidence of the people.
The average income in Egypt is decreasing
The Taxes in Egypt failed in collecting L.E 36 Billion for the VIP Tax payers !!

The next point is very interesting is not it !!??

Look what the CAO is what the people were and are using day and night , still the question here what the Government or the Cabinet will do .

Will they fix their mistakes ?? No they will not because it will be a confession of failure and they did not,do not and will not fail !!!

By the way 48 PMs requested that the CAO report would be represented to the General attorney as an evidence against the government .

Dr.El-Malt now became a public respectable icon by the way especially after the tension .
