Parliament reviews water, drainage, agriculture issues

The House of Representatives Monday reviewed a number of urgent statements presented by lawmakers on water, drainage and agriculture problems and the huge fire that erupted earlier in Downtown Cairo's Attaba district.

Several lawmakers objected that the prime minister and ministers concerned are not attending the session to respond to the statements. 

Parliament Speaker Ali Abdel Aal said they do not have to attend according to the internal regulation.
