A statement to the Egyptian People's Assembly

We have been informed that the Committee of Defense and National Security at People's Assembly approved the amendment of the law No. 127 for year 1980 which concerns the Military and National Service. This gives the ability to the Police Force to use recruits from the military services holding middle education certificates or any other equivalent certificates from abroad, according to a request of the Minister of Interior Affairs and the decision of the Minister of Defense.

A sense of uncertainty arises regarding the constitutional deviation of this amendment because it is incompatible with Article 184 of the Constitution, which specifies that the police is a civil institution. Therefore, it complies the laws of governmental bodies and not the laws of the armed forces, the Constitution states in its articles numbers 180, 181, 182 that only the State is to establish the Armed Forces and that it belongs to the people and to protect the country's territorial integrity and security. It is not allowed for any organization or group to form military or paramilitary establishments (such as the police authority in the formation of the Central Security forces). We see that it is for good to subject thousands of youth to compulsory recruitment in police as we are seeking for a better future for the youth of Egypt.

Therefore, RDP proposed to set an appropriate number of the Central Security forces to work as employees in the Ministry of Interior Affairs as part of the administrative structure of the State and they must have all the privileges of a civil employee instead of their service for three years and then their release after their dedication in the performance of their duties. Also it is important to ensure the access of their materialistic and moral rights as end of service bonus and an appropriate pension. They may also be included to work for one of the other governmental institutions according to the period they spend working for the police institution and the Central Security Sector. The aforementioned comes to our concern about the future of the Egyptian youth.
