Dr. Mahmoud Abu Zeid, the Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation, emphasized the government’s intention to find a solution for the problems facing the Engineers Syndicate which has been under receivership [A court action that places property under the control of a receiver during litigation so that it can be preserved for the benefit of all] for the last 10 years. During a meeting with representatives from a group called “anti-receivership engineers,” Abu Zeid admitted that the government fears the Brotherhood would dominate the syndicate [in case he receivership was lifted].
