Aly el-Kabbany, an author and journalist, describes as “unconstitutional” the amendments endorsed by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi to the Judicial Authority Law which would enable him to pick the most senior members of the country’s judicial system, adding that the judiciary establishment in Egypt will go to the Supreme Constitutional Court in order to reject those changes.  

Sisi "wants his own people in the judiciary system to have control on all state establishments and associations in Egypt and to put all his cronies to just take his diktats and use their powers to arrest and imprison all the political opponents of his military regime,” Kabbany told Press TV in an interview on Friday.
