In this context, Ibrahim Saber, Deputy Governor of Cairo for the Eastern Region, is holding several meetings with a number of residents of the two regions in order to explain the details of the decision, implementation mechanisms and ways to obtain compensation.
During the meeting, the deputy governor said that the government puts the priorities and interests of citizens into consideration, stressing: If we want to solve the issue, people submit and take their procedures and reach the neighborhood and the matter is resolved, and whoever wants a contract writes a paper and says I want a contract, and whoever wants compensation writes that he wants compensation.
The reality of selling the area to investors
The Deputy Governor stressed that there is no intention or direction on the part of the government to sell the area to investors, as is rumored, and all that will be done is to re-plan and develop the area once more in a better way.
The Deputy Governor of Cairo for the Eastern Region stressed that there will be justice in disbursing compensation to citizens, according to the prevailing price in the region, according to the evaluations of specialized and impartial committees.
He said: There are people who are bored and angry, and we talk to them and we are satisfied with all the people, and we are not afraid of anyone, and we put ourselves in the place of people, and we, as human beings, do not like change, even though change is for the better.
And he reaffirmed once more: Whoever wants compensation will take it, and whoever wants an alternative contract will write this, and each one will get what he wants, and for those who have paid fines, they will be reconciled in building violations, all the problems will be solved, and if someone pays conciliation, the money he paid will be refunded to him in addition to the compensation amount in return Unit.
