Al-Sisi talks about the difference between the 30 million population of Egypt and the 100 million population.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi said the country’s road network previously served 30 million people and now serves 100 million people.
Al-Sisi explained: “We are very surprised by the costs. Let me tell you that the road network used to serve 30 million people and that’s why you didn’t do development or traffic. What we’re doing is trying to build a network that’s fit for 100 million people, maybe 10 years.”
And President Abdel-Fattah Al-Sisi continued during the inauguration of the Axis Field Marshal Fuad Abu Zekri in Alexandria: “An axis like Nubaria would not cost us if people did not encroach on the Axis bridge. The road and the protection of the bridge of state land .. This means that we, as a state, our citizens, have not gotten rid of many things that we have had in recent years.
And the president continued: If al-Mahmoudiya’s axis didn’t have over a thousand or two thousand units on public land and we paid £700 million in social compensation to clear the site and build a 70 km road.
