Egypt's Prime Minister said today he does not rule out posts for the Muslim Brotherhood in his cabinet if candidates are qualified, even as police cracked down on ousted president Mohammed Morsi's Islamist group.
Hazem al-Beblawi, who was appointed on Tuesday, told AFP in a telephone interview he was still considering the makeup of his interim government after Morsi's overthrow in a popular military coup last week.
"I don't look at political association. If someone is named from (the Brotherhood's) Freedom and Justice Party, if he is qualified for the post" he may be considered, Beblawi said.
"I'm taking two criteria for the next government. Efficiency and credibility," he added.
