Rain and corruption

The recent heavy rain that hit Egypt revealed the administrative corruption that led to lack of drainage for the rain or even the construction of new cities on the wrong places. It was also clear that those responsible for crisis management in our country can do nothing or do not even exist. We have to acknowledge we don t have a good management in order to have good crisis management.

Were they surprised by poor drainage and bad pavement quality of the roads? A lot of money is wasted just like the water drops that the government is crying over now and trying to protect through negotiations with Ethiopia and the Sudan.
 
I had nothing to describe those leaders except as corrupted people. They see corruption, but never try to prevent it. They now talk about what happened in the Fifth Settlement, but ignored what happened in the rest of Egyptian governorates.
 
The head of administrative control did not visit the affected areas except in the Fifth Settlement and New Cairo.
 
I also felt sorry for our media when a respective anchor said that he wouldn t have attacked the corrupted people fiercely unless the administrative control have issued such statement. 
 
In short, the rain revealed the administrative, human and media corruption in Egypt. The regime doesn t attack corruption unless it affects the VIP.
