Yousuf Sidhom tells the story of an Assiut lawyer who was greatly hassled and unfairly shifted from place to place without explanation in his efforts to obtain his voting card before the deadline. The lawyer accused the apathetic government employees of attempting to make him miss his deadline, effectively eliminating his right to vote. Sidhom used this story as a bad omen for the poor application of the presidential decree that is supposed to make governors more responsible for permitting building and restoration of churches.
