Ibrahim Mehleb

: El-Sissi tasked Petroleum Minister Sherif Ismail with forming a new Cabinet within a week, according to The Toronto Star. Prior to handing in his resignation, Mehleb provided a report detailing the performance of the government, which two officials from the president office said el-Sissi found unsatisfying. The office of the president said he accepted the resignation of Prime Minister Ibrahim Mehleb and his Cabinet but that the ministers would continue to serve until a new body is appointed. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to brief reporters. El-Sissi in recent months has had to perform tasks that normally should fall to Mehleb, such as arranging meetings with ministers and negotiating business deals with foreign investors, according to the two officials. Egypt president is generally in charge of major affairs of state while the prime minister, whom he appoints, handles day-to-day running of the government. (news.financializer.com).
