In a post on his Facebook page, Dr. Ahmed Aref, Muslim Brotherhood media spokesman, said: "The real assessment of the current government, the Egyptian people, will be based on performance and achievements only. The people have not tasked any party to speak on their behalf.

"Until the next House of Representatives is elected and a new government is formed with parliamentary backing and oversight, the current Cabinet must not take long-term strategic decisions unilaterally.

"The current government has the right that all patriotic stakeholders do their duty to aid, advise and support it with all efforts possible. Plain objection is something that everyone does – it needs no creativity, nor innovation."
