Prime Minister says cabinet is preparing next month's public 'mukashafa' conference
Published · Updated
What happened
Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly announced on 2026-09-17 that the cabinet is preparing for a public 'mukashafa' conference next month at the President's request, with the stated purpose of addressing public questions about current hardship and government performance.
Why it matters
The announcement sets a public timetable for the Presidency and cabinet to explain policy on prices, energy, and service delivery. That creates a near-term test of whether the government uses the event to present concrete measures, personnel changes, or a communications reset.
On 2026-09-17, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said the government is preparing a public 'mukashafa' conference next month after a presidential request, framing it as an answer to public questions about economic hardship and state performance. The move is a datable cabinet action rather than a routine media appearance because it creates a defined public accountability moment tied to prices, energy, and service delivery. It is worth tracking as a building domestic-political situation because the Presidency and cabinet now have to decide whether the conference will contain substantive concessions, policy clarification, or only messaging.
