Egypt will replace 10 ministers, state media reported on Saturday, in a cabinet reshuffle directed by Islamist President Mohammed Morsi in order to improve the country's struggling economy.
Finance and interior ministers are among the 10 who will be sworn in on Sunday, state television reported. Three of the candidates belong to Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood party.
Mohamed Ibrahim will be in charge of the interior ministry, Hatem Abdel-Latif will be minister of transportation and Al-Morsi al-Sayed Hegazi will be appointed finance minister.
Morsi said in a recent speech that he had discussed with Prime Minister Hisham Qandil an imminent cabinet reshuffle so that the government could better deal with the country's economic and
political problems.
