According to the list of the Egyptian Parliament, the proposed law will be presented to a vote during the next plenary session, and it will be sent to the Council of Ministers and then to the relevant government authorities, to start implementing it and working with it according to the rules determined by Egyptian law. The Secretary of the Legislative and Constitutional Affairs Committee in the Egyptian House of Representatives, Representative Ali Badr, stated that the draft law was in accordance with the constitution and the internal regulations of the House of Representatives, and the urgent need to issue this law appeared in light of the fight against terrorism within the states administrative apparatus.

Organization. The source explained that the process of purging state institutions of Brotherhood cells is complicated and not easy, because most of them do not clearly announce their organizational affiliation.  He pointed out that the law will define the mechanisms for dealing with each case and indicate the extent of its involvement in acts that threaten the stability of the country, in which case he must be dismissed from his position and tried, while in some cases it will be sufficient to remove them from executive positions and put them under surveillance. The source stressed that the government will not tolerate any action that threatens the stability of the country, noting that the employee or official in the government position has the role of implementing the goals of the national state and working to serve it, and that his affiliation with the organization and his work for his benefit is a betrayal of the homeland and must be held accountable by law. .

The minister said that the Ministry of Transport has about 162 workers belonging to the terrorist Brotherhood, working in the railway sector. He stressed the importance of amending the Civil Service Law to separate some categories of railway workers who threaten the work of the facility and pose a threat to the safety of citizens, while questions were raised about the possibility of confronting these elements with a number of laws issued by Parliament to confront terrorism.
