Former Egypt Investment Minister Likely To Take Up Same Post

Egypt’s former investment minister Dr. Osama Saleh said on Tuesday he would take up the same post in the country’s interim government headed by Dr. Hazem el-Beblawi.

“I have accepted the position of investment minister,” Saleh told reporters in Cairo.

Interim Prime Minister Hazem el-Beblawi is putting together a cabinet largely of technocrats and liberals after the army ousted President Mohamed Morsi on July 3 following mass demonstrations against the Brotherhood-led president.
