Awqaf Minister Mohamed Mokhtar Gomaa on Friday described the construction and renovation of mosques in the era of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi as “unprecedented”.

The goal of removing donation boxes from mosques is to organize the donation process within a framework of governance, integrity and transparency, he added in a statement.

The ministry will receive donations for the reconstruction of mosques, charitable works and community service via specific bank accounts, he added.
