Parliament approved two controversial laws on Sunday as it started reviewing legislation passed by President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi since June 2014, including the so-called "terrorist entities" law. The first law, issued by El-Sisi in July 2015, grants him the right to depose the heads of four state financial and regulatory bodies. Those bodies are the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE), the Administrative Control Authority (ACA), the Accountability State Authority (ASA) – the country's central auditing agency – and the Egyptian Financial Supervisory Authority (EFSA). The second piece of legislation is the "terrorist entities" law, which was passed in February 2015. Parliament has voted against the mining law, but then accepted the government’s request to re-vote on the law. (ahramonline)
