Seeing that I am a very realistic person, I never dreamt of being the president simply because, it is not allowed in our Egyptian Constitution! Even if the constitution was amended to embrace the option for women to run for presidency, I personally, would not want such a huge responsibility and being under so much pressure to satisfy the needs of each and everyone in the population and still would not reach the optimum solution. However,
I have the following suggestions for whoever dreams of being the president: • Reduce taxes imposed in the country.
• Remove custom duties and turn this country into a duty free country.
• Increase the number of public schools and university but have an admission exam for entering such public schools and universities in order for making education available for those who really want to be educated.
• Terminate Thanaweya 3amma and replace it by admission exams for universities.
• Promote languages in public schools so that the whole population speaks English. It really bothers me how the average Egyptian does not speak languages and the average Tunisian or Algerian or Moroccan has an additional language than Arabic.
• Following point 4: Teach all Egyptians the difference between the “P” and the “B”.
• Increase the number of private parks in each district for children to find open air areas to play.
• Amend Labor Laws to allow women to have a 6 months paid maternity leave. It is unfair for women who have to work to leave their children 3 months helpless in nurseries to run back to work.
• Promote fashion industry in the country and by removing custom duties from imported clothes, the fashion taste in the country will be upgraded and hence the population will look elegant. If you look at the black and white Egyptian movies until the 70’s you will find that all the population was up to fashion.
• Last but not least increase the salaries of government employees to promote the living standards of all the government employees and give them the prestige they deserve.
I really hope this would happen. Or am I dreaming???
