Former Governor of Cairo under investigation of wasting public funds
Published in Youm7 on 22 - 09 - 2011

The public funds sector of the public prosecutor's office, lead by the chairmanship of attorney general Chancellor Aly Hawary began the investigation of a number of complaints filed against the former Governor of Cairo, Abdel Azim Wazir .
He is accused of wasting public money and allocating territory areas of Egypt to businessmen and investors for less than its actual price in violation of the law.
The prosecutors formed committees to examine irregularities in addition to waiting for reports of regulatory bodies, such as the Central Agency for Accounting and Administrative Control Authority.
A judicial source said in the event of proving violations contained in the communications, the Minister will be called for interrogation.
The public prosecutor's office is investigating allegations of wasting money in a new trial of the former Minister of Tourism, Zuhair Garanah, and the former Minister of Housing, Ahmed El-Maghraby, for the allocation of territory areas of Egypt of the Tourism Development Authority to businessmen for less than their real price.
Investigations revealed Garanah used his power as head of the Tourism Development Authority to allocate territory areas in the governorate of the Red Sea, to businessmen at just U.S. dollar a meter.
The price per meter is actually much higher and investigations pointed inquiries regulators to the involvement of former Prime Minister, Ahmed Nazif, in the case.
The prosecution is awaiting examination reports of the committees and public funds experts. Attorney-General Chancellor Abdul Meuid Mahmoud ordered the imprisonment of Garranah for 15 days pending the investigations.
