The young girl, Youstina Tharwat, raised a question about the NGO law. She told the President: “the NGO law needs a reconsideration from your part, using your constitutional powers”. Sisi expressed his approval for her suggestion: “I totally agree with you, there were apprehensions about possible risks which led to the promulgation of the law in its current form, containing some flaws.”
