In a plenary session of the Parliament, House of Representatives Speaker Hanafy al-Gebaly expressed his gratitude to President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi for his dedication to launching the National Human Rights Strategy in 2021. He noted that the president’s directives were instrumental in the swift issuance of the draft law on the rights of the elderly.
During the session, a bill submitted by the government to issue the “rights of the elderly” law was being debated, along with two draft laws proposed by several lawmakers on the same issue. Gebaly highlighted President Sisi’s directive to allocate LE100 million from the “Long Live Egypt Fund” to support the establishment of the “Fund for the Elderly,” pending Parliament’s approval of the Elders’ Rights Law.
Gebaly also commended the efforts of the Senate in discussing the proposed draft law on the rights of the elderly and addressing any shortcomings in its initial version.
