Minister of State for Local Development Abdel-Rahim Shehata of Egypt

When Governor Abdel-Rahim Shehata says of Cairo that it is the centre of decision-making in Egypt and one of the world mega-cities, he knows of what he speaks.

Shehata said that the sewage project in the district of Gammaliya has been carried out, and the restoration of about 20 archaeological sites has been completed.

A month after sectarian clashes ravaged Al-Kosheh, the village is getting a government-funded face-lift.

Cairo Governor Abdel Rahim Shehata said an order for the 20-year-old building's demolition had been issued in 1992.
