"... the temporary handling of the caretaker government by sacked ministers as "a politically unusual situation," as the swearing-in of 14 ministers-designate was delayed till Thursday.The swearing in ceremony of the new Cabinet before the head of the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) Field Marshal Mohamed Hussein Tantawy has been postponed more than once over the past few days. Prime Minister Essam Sharaf was hospitalized briefly on Monday after naming 13 ministers on Sunday and two deputies on Saturday. Unconfirmed reports suggested there were disagreements over the names suggested by Sharaf. On Tuesday, he gave orders to the former ministers to remain in office until the new ones officially give their service oath. "This has even intensified the state of confusion in the country's political scene," Emad Gad, a senior researcher at Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies, told Daily News Egypt.
