Ehab Mansour, Member of Parliament, pointed out that a new decision was recently issued introducing a 25% reduction in reconciliation fees under specific conditions, particularly for immediate payment cases. He explained that this reduction already exists in both previous and current laws and applies to buildings that cannot be demolished.
Mansour emphasized that this step addresses only 3–5% of reconciliation problems, while major issues such as urban boundaries, parking spaces, and building heights remain unresolved — representing around 80% of the challenges. He added that the true solution requires amending the reconciliation law, noting that he had submitted amendment proposals last November following three years of discussions, yet implementation has not taken place despite promises from the Local Administration Committee.
Regarding the agricultural sector, Mansour highlighted delays in the expected amendments, which have led to a state of uncertainty among citizens. He stressed the importance of monitoring officials’ statements to ensure that promises are actually fulfilled.
Mansour concluded his remarks by underscoring the need to address urban development problems comprehensively, explaining that reconciliation with buildings of special status brings financial benefits to the state. However, he called for comprehensive reform and effective law enforcement to reach fundamental and lasting solutions.
