New Housing Minister takes office, pledges to accelerate national projects

Engineer Randa El-Minshawi arrived at the Ministry of Housing headquarters in the New Administrative Capital on Wednesday to begin her term, following her swearing-in before President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi.

El-Minshawi, a long-time veteran of the ministry, was received by senior officials and staff. She expressed her pride in the political leadership’s confidence and called for a unified team spirit to continue Egypt’s sweeping urban development program.

In her first address to ministry leadership, the new minister emphasized the need for synergy between various departments and affiliated bodies. She outlined a strategy focused on increasing the pace of work on ongoing national mega-projects, improving the standard of utilities and services provided to citizens, and ensuring that urban expansion aligns with long-term sustainable development goals.

The Minister noted that her tenure would see enhanced monitoring and coordination mechanisms. "The next phase will focus on supporting our human resources and upgrading institutional performance to meet the aspirations of both the state and the people," she said.

Ministry staff welcomed the appointment of an internal candidate, citing her extensive technical experience within the housing and utilities sectors as a key asset for the ministry's future success.
