Since ancient times, the Egyptian state has been committed to combating

and tracking corruption through all legislative and institutional means. It

has aimed to develop its methods and tools to keep up with the evolving nature

of crime in this regard and to work on containing and preventing all forms of

corruption. In this context, the Egyptian constitution issued in January 2014 includes clear

and comprehensive provisions for combating corruption. In Chapter

Seven, under the title "National Councils, Independent Authorities, and

Oversight Bodies," it emphasizes the technical, financial, and administrative

independence of the bodies and agencies working in the field of

combating corruption. It stipulates that the appointment of the heads of

these bodies is done by the President of the Republic, and these bodies are

required to submit annual reports to him regarding their activities.
