Minister of Planning Fayza Abouelnaga on Wednesday said the government of Prime Minister Kamal al-Ganzouri will continue to operate until a new one is formed, state TV reported.
President Mohamed Morsy met with Prime Minister Kamal al-Ganzouri and his Cabinet Wednesday afternoon as part of consultations over the formation of his own government, state-run MENA news agency said.
“Kamal al-Ganzouri’s cabinet will continue during Ramadan,” Al-Masry Al-Youm reported a source from the president's office as saying following the meeting.
The Ganzouri Cabinet will stay in place even after a new prime minister is named, until all the new ministers are appointed, the source said.
Morsy had met with Ganzouri to discuss his platform for the first hundred days, which includes five main themes, namely to solve the problems pertaining to traffic, the production of bread, garbage, security and energy.
Local Development Minister Mohamed Ahmed Attiya said that during the Wednesday meeting, the president emphasized his 100-day plan and also called on ministers to coordinate among themselves to provide citizens with staple foods, especially during Ramadan.
Ganzouri plans to hold a Cabinet meeting on Thursday to discuss solutions for the traffic and the garbage problems.
During the meeting, Ganzouri submitted a report to Morsy about problems his government has tackled, as well as other outstanding issues, according to Al-Ahram. The report also includes timelines and financial plans for addressing those unsolved problems.
During a graduation ceremony at the Military Academy on Tuesday, Morsy had said that the new government would be announced as soon as possible.
