CAIRO – 27June 2018: Egypt's official Gazette published Tuesday a presidential decree issued by President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi on Monday to appoint counselor Amany Badr Eddin el-Rafei as head of the Administrative Prosecution Authority (APA) as of July 1.

Rafei, 69, was born in Alexandria governorate, and she is expected to retire in February, 2019, but she will remain in office until June 30, 2019, according to the Egyptian law.

Egypt Today introduces Rafei to the readers to know more about the newly-appointed APA chief.

She graduated with a BA in law from Alexandria University in 1971; then she obtained a Master's degree in public law two years later.

She started her law career at the APA in 1975 as an administrative prosecution deputy at many sectors in her home-city of Alexandria, until she was promoted to work at the Technical Office of the APA Chairman in 1994.

Rafei is the fifth woman to head a judicial authority in Egypt.

The Administrative Prosecution Authority (APA) is governed by Law 117/1958 to monitor and investigate all civil servants in all ministries and agencies at all levels in the republic.

The APA investigates administrative and financial crimes, and it has the mandate to hand over perpetrators to criminal courts. The APA also serves as an internal reporting mechanism to which public officials may direct their complaints or reports of corruption.
