“If the law supposes that,” said Mr. Bumble,… “the law is a ass—a idiot. If that’s the eye of
 the law, the law is a bachelor; and the worst I wish the law is that his eye may be opened by experience—by experience.”
Oliver Twist

Despite a growing body of laws meant to curb graft, corruption in Egypt is on the rise, according to a report by a global corruption watchdog organisation. Corruption is now sensed by all sectors of society including the government,” said Omnia Hussein, the programme co-ordinator for TI in Egypt. “What’s interesting is the amount of laws and regulations. The gap is sometimes tremendous between the existing law and the enforcement of the law.… and people’s awareness of the law.”………..”

What I have told others in the past: you don’t need new laws; you only need to enforce existing laws. Piling up new laws is a sure sign that you can’t enforce existing laws, or the new laws.
